I am a masters track sprinter who has been having lower back troubles for the last year. I am 41 year old male.
I have been swimming to give my back time to heal. I have been swimming for about a month.
This week I swam 800 yards in a pool (100ft long) in 16 minutes. Is this any good? Never swam competatively in my life.
I have some real disc problems and I was hoping I could someday be competative in the water if I can't run anymore. I have to be honest, I love running way more than swimming, but I really miss the competition part.
What should I be doing as a rookie if I want to swim the 50 and the 100? What kind of interval training? or should I just be doing conditioning and technique?

Speaking on the dive, how do I ensure I don't wear my goggles as a necklace when I dive in? what are the tricks to keeping them on?
The best way to avoid goggle missplace during the dive is to make your chin touch your chess before entering into the water, they also have to be tighten well but not very much that bothers you.
It will need practice and patience.
