David C asked:

I think I can only do about 5 laps before i need a rest.

I should try ti increase the number of laps before resting right?

Since you do swimming for relaxation I think you should do it until you feel like you’ve done enough for the moment. Don’t turn your relaxation into a chore by trying to do more than is fun and relaxing

this past summer i started swimming with my dad. we started out with 10 laps, and are now up to 70 daily, and 100 almost weekly. i say try to increase maybe 5 a month. there are really a lot of health benefits, and the more you can do the better, you might just decide that you would enjoy competing!

Don’t overwork yourself. Do 3 laps and then take a little rest and then another 3. After a few weeks you can start doing 4 laps and then 5 and then 6 etc etc.
