BriefBro,
I agree with the others. Take a look at the true story I wrote last August 14, How I Met My Serious Swimming. It describes my journey to becoming a serious swimmer. I started out barely able to do a lap as you'll read. I got help from STS, Turbofan, and Swimmboy in learning how to do the workout and how to choose a swim brief. And I've been swimming seriously now for a full year.
Start out doing a lap or two, rest, then continue with a few more laps. Gradually, you will be able to build up your endurance. STS advised me to stay in the pool for 45 minutes, resting how ever many times you need to and for as much time as you need. You'll find that your resting time will shorten and you'll need fewer rest stops. Above all, don't get frustrated. And get a brief that fits well and that you feel comfortable wearing. Remember, it's absolutely natural to wear a swim brief when swimming laps, and no one will even bat an eyelash. Good luck!
