How long does it take before you start seeing improvement?
I know it's only be a month, but I'm not seeing much improvement in my 50 yd free time.
I do however feel like my body is with standing longer yardage, without stopping.
I swim an avg. of 3 days 30 mins avg. 300-400yds
1- day 60 mins avg. 800 yds. I use the workout room, 1 mile 20 min.-walk, different cable weights for 20 mins, 1 mile bike 1-2 times a week. No weight loss yet.
Trying to remember that I must really be improving it's just not showing yet.
Any advise??:confused:

Since you are currently averaging 10-13 yards/min I would think that your first priorities should be increasing your endurance and improving your technique. Increasing your endurance will allow you to practice your technique for longer periods of times and longer distances, and in turn improving your technique will let you swim longer and further and eventually faster.
Think of technique and endurance as foundations that need to be in place before you start to concentrate on speed. Keeping track of the distance you can swim should provide positive feedback in the short term while you build the foundations for your other goals. Endurance will be of the biggest help if weight loss is an important goal for you.
Good luck!
