Hi, I'm an 18 year old guy who is interested in swimming competitively. I've never been on a team sport before and I've been training now for about 3 or so weeks. At first, I could barely swim 75 m without being exhausted, but now my practices average between 500-600 m per day. However, I still can't swim more than 50 m continuously and my endurance isn't too good. What kind of workouts should I be doing while swimming to improve well enough to be on a team? How many meters should I be swimming a day? Thanks for the help

    You need someone to teach you proper technique. Have you looked for a Masters team near you? Yea, I have a personal swim instructor who's preparing me for the club team near me. But I'm just wondering about the basics, how much do I need to average per practice and how much is necessary to get on a team level?
