Lots of hard work : ) accept the fact that you're going to be behind everyone physically for a while, but don't let it stay that way. It's hard to get back in, but you can do it! Plus, 3 months isn't all that long, you should be fine.

on a 50 fly i breath every 5 strokes and on a 100 i breath 3,4 for the first 50 then 2,3 on the second...if that helps at all...

training. : ) under, under, under, overs help too. it's a 100 you go under water for a 75 (you breath once per wall) then freestyle sprint the last 25 w/ no breath... we'll do like 10 and you're dead afterwards..but it helps.
