Need some basic swimming info

of course, that's what I plan to do. Although I did buy a new swimsuit (and those suckers are not cheap!). My question is more toward if I do get into it--I'd like to swim several times a week, and use the right tools.

If you are trying to limit the strain on your knee, I wouldn't use any flippers on your feet. You'll get a good workout without them, and there will be less strain on your knee. The cap and goggles are just a personal preference thing, but I like goggles a lot.
