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
I'm in the same boat you are. I could turtle late in life and then a few years ago I learned to swim. I just recently am able to do 100 fly, 400 IM. It takes a lot out of me but I can do it. The form is off but some of that is conditioning.
Any tips for those of us who don't have a swim team support that others do and didn't have the basics of swimming as a kid to learn "swim meet" info?
