if I don't use it my neck hurts. None of this backstroke garbage, be a man, and do freestyle.

Buy Swedes for goggles. There is nothing better

Do you swim in races or just exercise/recreation?

Change strokes when you need a rest... keep moving and going. Try to push for

I strongly disagree with "Leaving it all in the pool". Please don't.

Swimming with a snorkel at times is helpful

That is good stuff. I did the free trial period and used it this morning.

Man, three day a week of swimming is a lot. Don't burn out too quickly.
