OK,
I worked on my turns and I did better at my second SCY meet.
At my first meet I did the 50yd free in 30.3 and the 100yd free in 1:10.24.
At the last meet I did the 50 yd free in 28.7 and the 100yd free in 1:08.76 with a 31.63 split. I also did the 200 yd free and did a 2:56.98 with the following splits: 34.49, 42.87, 50.91, 48.71.
I think that I don't have any strength endurance, because of my splits. Of course it would also be nice to be faster and get my 50 free lower. Will strength endurance work help my speed at all in the 50?
What workouts do I need to bring down these times if I can only swim 3 to 4 times a week? Please be specific.
FYI, I'm a 41 yr old male and have been swimming for 3 months.
Thanks!

Maybe you have no strength and endurance. More likely is that you don't have technique, and this is what is causing you to fatigue in the longer races. I'd get someone to look at your stroke and give you advice on how to smooth things out. Then practice for a while, and ask for advice again.
