Days off per week

I swim 1,800 yards per day and I swim it in 42 minutes. I'm working to lose weight, get in better shape and become a better swimmer. Is 5 days on, 2 off per week good? What would be the ideal # of rest days per week? Thanks! Don

    I go along with the general thinking here. I'm an example of what not to do. I train 7 days a week and haven't taken a rest day for nearly six months now. In future, I've decided to have every Sunday as my rest day and I'm thinking of making it a two-day break every week. I'll probably go to the gym instead. I've never done gym work regularly, so this will be interesting.
