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 use Speedo Vanquishers and they essentially last forever. I usually replace them about once a year just because they start to get dinged up and fog up more easily. If you rinse them out after every use and store them in the plastic case they come in they should last a long time. Unlike in the old days the straps and eye gasket are very durable.
Lots of people like Swedes, but I think you either love them or hate them.
I go with the swedes, but for my OW swim coming up next month, I think I'm going to defect to something like the Speedo Vanquishers or something "more comfortable" for the 5K distance.
