I haven't been compettively swimming for 2 years, i am now 15 and i want to start swimming again. It is now august, and swimming starts in october. I am trying to get faster at ALL of my events, which are Freestyle, Fly, Breaststroke, and occaisonally Backstroke, how can I get faster in 2 months? and I hate running, but i will run if I have to get faster.

I agree with Barry. You should try to build an endurance base for the season by getting in some long swims, which can include kicking and pulling. Add some sprints so you can retain/regain your speed. Don't forget warmups and recovery swims at the end, as well as stretching. Dryland work is fine but there is no substitute for swimming.
