Hey guys, it's my first time posting here. I should start of by saying I am not a master's swimmer and am a 14 year old guy. I just started swimming for my high school jv team a couple months ago and I've swam the 500 free twice. My recent time I got at my last meet was 7:20. I know I could do much better, but I need you guys to help me. Is there a certain strategy that can help me for the 500 free? What should I do in practice and on my own to become better at this event? Are there any good books out there on stroke technique? All your help is appreciated, thanks.:D

One other suggestion. You should swim year round, preferably long course in the summers.
