Hello experts,
As part of my Scuba-diving certification, I need to demonstrate that I can swim 200 metres non-stop. The problem(s) are:
** I've been practising for the last 2 weeks, but how much I try I can't swim more than 100 Metres.
** I only know to swim freestyle and Breaststroke.
** As I was/am a body-builder I have reasonably good muscles, but very little stamina.
I am in deep s**t. If I can't show them I can swim for 200 metres I'll loose my money. I badly need to do scuba-diving as well!! What can I do, experts please give me some suggestions. The main question is - Can I achieve the 200 metres in the next 2 weeks. I am ready to sacrifice any sort of practice?
Cheers

Do the requirements allow you to do the swim with mask/fins/snorkel?
If not, it's possible you could get quite a bit more distance by having a coach fix your stroke. Many times a couple of small adjustments can provide some surprisingly positive results. Check at your pool and see if there's a coach available to review your stroke, it could be a simple fix.
Good luck!
