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?
Thank you Jazz Hands I appreciate you suggesting Swim Faster Faster
and that it be made sticky.
here's the links to the:
Swim Faster Faster Index Part 1
Swim Faster Faster Index Part 2
I should probably make a new index by category to give folks quicker access to the tips they seek or need.
One problem is swimmers might not be certain which tips will give them the greatest probability for improvement. Which I've tried to address in
Ask Ande
I should probably make an index for Ask Ande so folks don't have to wade through all the pages to find out if I've addressed a similar question.
1. Optimally, you should be not swimming much more than swimming.
2. A mask would cover the nose, right? That's terrible. Speedo makes the best goggles, in general. These are my favorite: www.swimoutlet.com/.../5723.htm
3. This isn't your fault but nearly everyone asking for a training plan just need to read this: Ande's Swimming Tips: Swimming Faster Faster - U.S. Masters Swimming Discussion Forums
