Help with training for a team

Hi, I'm an 18 year old looking to compete on a local club team. I have never swam or played any sports before, and I have been training since mid-August. At first, I could barely swim 25 m and now I'm doing 50s. I have a personal trainer who's working with me, and the coach has watched me before. He told me that I need to work on endurance, because I can't repeatedly do 50s or even 100s with short rest. How long do you all think it would take if I trained extremely hard to do this? What do I need to do to make this happen? Thanks for the help

    I'm not running or biking or doing anything like that, and I was planning to start lifting weights for swimming. And I'm not on the team yet, the coach told me to work on things and that in a month or two he will reevaluate my abilities and decide what to do. I only see my trainer twice a week for 30 mins so I can't really ask too much because my time is limited, I just want to know what more I can do and how to do it in the least amount of time possible. I'm more than willing to work as hard as is possible to do this
