Progressing my endurance fitness

As you said...your focus is on increasing your endurance, and not your speed. The simple fact of the matter is that your endurance has to be increased gradually. As you indicated, you're swimming 1625m per session (that's just over a mile), but you didn't say how often you're doing that. Obviously you're not going to double that distance (per session) in a week. But if you're only swimming that distance once per week, try adding a second pool session per week. Or, if you're already swimming that distance 2, 3, or more times per week, try adding one or two hundered meters per session. Do that for a couple weeks, and then add a couple hundred more. As I said...you just have to keep gradually increasing your distance in small amounts. DanHi dan, thanks for your input, yea if i do the longer distance of mile swims, i normally do between 3 and 4 a week, sometimes i do 5 swims of less distance, ie 50 lengths.
