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?
2. A mask would cover the nose, right?
raid might be thinking of the mask-like goggles, though. Sort of like these: www.swimoutlet.com/.../1426.htm
Definitely a traditional scuba mask that covers the nose would be bad, and I can't really see why you'd want to use something like I linked above unless you are really having problems with the fit of more traditional goggles. I do see a fair number of people who use these during lap swim sessions, though.
