Swimming routine needed.

I never really included any other strokes expect crawl because that is all i do in a triathlon. However...i totally understand about what you mean about boring!!!

You probably need some drills. I used the ones from here on my Bronze and Silver membership. I would write the drills down on a index card and stick it in a zip lock sandwich bag so i could keep it pool side.

At first they look weird because they say things like

Warm up
1 x 200
1 x 100 kick (use kick board legs only)
1 x 100 pull (use knee float thingie work just your arms)

Main set
4x100
2x100

Cool down
1 x 100.

Of course this is JUST an example not a real one. You will get used to the lingo and they will add effort rates in each set.
These make you go faster!! Plus they are way less boring.

Also i could make it through none of my 30-45min pool workouts with out my swim MP3 player! That black line is just not interesting enough.

I bet you copuld find drills on plastic cards at swim shops or online somewhere.

This is my favorite workout.  you could probably alter it to suit your needs.

WU: 3 x 200 swim/kick/pull
MS:  5x200 back/free/breast/free (could make it an IM if wanted, I just happen to hate fly)
300 kick IM
500 pull w/ paddles
100 CD

Total: 2500 yds.

Awesome... Thank you guys...

I printed both drills and will try them today...

Thank you for your help.

We used to do 1000 SKIPS as a warm-up in college

200 Swim
200 Kick
200 IM
200 Pill
200 Swim

It's a really nice way to break up 1000yds 

A quick search of "IM swim set" led me to a few online, too:
