Swimming & Diving

I'm a serious swimmer, I'm pretty good, this has been my first year on the High School Swim Team (I'm an 8th grdr), although I'm only on JV and we don't practice very periodically.........we're supposed to practice 3 days a week! I was hopping for something between say $500-900...or less! I was also hoping for something with airport transportation and dry land work outs!

Not the air tanks divers use, I'm talking about the battery operated system that actually takes air out of the water. I want to Yahoo it, but I can't rememebr what they are called.

One year ago I was in great shape. As a former Div1 swimmer with most of my life spent in the pool, I never had to worry much about what I ate or how active I was outside of the sport. I've taken a year off (my first year ever) and I'm just now trying to get back in shape but I'm having a difficult time without being able to dedicate 4-5 hours a day and no coach to provide me with direction. I've recently join a gym with a pool however I've discovered I'm completely lost in the weight room and, having never had to start fresh, I don't know what to do in the water. In fact, the only part of my training regiment I've been able to hold on to is my chords. I'm dedicated and hard working but I don't have much free time. Any advice?

- Boyle's Law indicates that if you ascend while holding your breath, you could rupture your lungs. Does this change when you are breathing nitrox?

Most important to me is NO LEAKS since my eyes are sensitive to chlorine. Second most important is COMFORT, since I used to have a pair that was hard plastic that would cut into my face. I don't really care about price.

Okay, I have started swimming in the pool. I am slowly but steadily building up my endurance and stamina. I do a lot of breast stroke and I'm going to try and work on the butterfly because it really takes the most energy. I'm not the biggest freestyle or backstroke fan but will do them when I feel like it... I swim for a total of 40 minutes but probably 10 of that is used for rest, so I would say 30 is used swimming.
But today I tried on the fins. I was constantly moving, not taking as much 'rest' time as I did a few days ago and found it much easier to swim with them on. They helped me focus on my actual technique which I know is good... if I got too winded I would turn to my back and just work my legs until I felt okay to do laps again.
Is this effective? Is it okay to leave the fins on? Rather, will I see the same results this way as I would without fins?
Any advice is welcomed! Thanks!
