I play college basketball and due to a knee surgery I will not be able to run for 6 months. I will be able to swim this summer, and would like some advice on workouts that will help with endurance and conditioning. Also if there is supplies that I would need (i.e. fins, goggles, ect.) please let me know. Some of the terms, such as pull, kick, and that confuse me, so looking at some of the posted workouts make little sense to me. If anyone has any advice or workout ideas I would greatly apperciate it!!

Hi,
When I broke me knee a few years ago I could not swim at all. All I did was walk in the water. Water is weightless to your body. I would just take some kind of water walking classes. As you get stronger use a kickboard. Doctors recommend it for rehabilitation.
When I don't swim for a wile and want to get back into swimming laps. I just do 50's to 100's and stay at that for a time.
;) :)
I hope this helps!
