After a long layoff, I am getting back into swimming and I have some questions to ask.
1. How often should I rest? I plan on practicing at least 4 or 5 times a week. Bear in mind I am going to start out very slowly.
2. Any recommendations for a goggles or swim mask? I am thinking of using a swim mask starting out.
3. What should my basic swim program entail?
4. What should I be aware of starting out?

4. What should I be aware of starting out?
1. Depends on how fit you are now. 4-5 x seems kinda high initially.
2. Find a comfortable goggle that fits your face and doesn't leak. You may have to experiment with a few different kinds before finding the right fit. No idea why you'd want a swim mask, though I guess some people find them comfy.
3. Depends on what your goals are, whether you want to compete and what type of swimmer you are. Check the Workout Section or Blogs for sample workouts. Incorporate kicking right away, even if you don't want to.
4. Rotator cuff exercises. This is more important than anything. Or else, you'll have a shoulder problem right outta the box.
