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

    One questiOn: how much of your coaching focus has been on proper breathing and body position? Without that foundation, everything is pretty much a waste of time. Breathing is the first thing I worked on, it's not perfect yet, but it's pretty good. And I'm also working on body position though I already have pretty good position currently
