Gaining Distance

I started swimming a couple of weeks ago. Right now I can only swim about 100m at a time taking a break between each 100m. Is there any other cardio that I can do to help improve my swimming stamina. I can run up to 8 - 10 miles but can't swim more than 100m with out taking a break. Any suggestions?

  • I knew a marathon runner who couldn't swim 25 yards without gasping! Of course, I can't run down the block without wheezing. Anyway, the point is to just get comfortable with the water, let your body get used to the different cardio requirements. Like all athletic efforts, it takes time to see improvement. So don't rush it.
