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?
I'm also starting up after a year. I'm looking for suggestions on easing into it again and avoiding shoulder strain. How many days would be optimal? How much yardage to begin with? Should I focus on kicking or arms or what? I used to do about 2000yds/workout? What should I begin with? What has worked well for all of you who have re-entered the pool?
Thanks. Andy:banana:
