Are you and your joints tired of running on a treadmill; swimming is a great solution and it offers a change to the same old exercise routine. However, before getting into the fast-lane and splashing away, here are a few tips and some rules on etiquette when lane swimming.
Attire
The bikini that you wear to the beach will not cut it in the pool, you need a one piece bathing suit with preferably a racer back. This allows you to swim without having to worry about any body part popping out; regular bathing suits have a tendency to fall down from the drag in the pool when swimming laps. Drag, which is the water's resistance against you, is not all that bad. Doubling up on your bathing suit can give you a more challenging workout; like adding weights when doing aerobics.
Wearing a cap is also a good idea, not flattering, but a good idea. It keeps your hair out of your face which can be bothersome. If you have your hair down when swimming freestyle and take a breath between strokes only to get your hair in your mouth, you stop swimming; you wouldn't run without your laces tied.
