Help!

Thank you! Hope it will work for you. Instead of the short term goal (a certain distance in half an hour), I would focus on stroke-efficiency goals. For instance: You need now let's say 17 strokes for one lane and it takes 18 seconds. 17 + 18 = 35 Now make a goal that you want to have this number down to 32 (16 strokes in 16 seconds) in two months. Your training could have these effeciciency training in it, but als you an swim longer distances. Once you have that reached that desired number then focus on the longer distance. The way you plan it could lead to a situation in where you put a lot of effort in a wrong way. On the longer term not smart. It also can help you to make taskgoals, for instance swimming 4 times a week for 40 minutes.
