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:

If you're only able to swim a few hundred yards a day, a 50 is still a long distance for you. Work more on endurance, gradually increasing both the total distance you swim and the longest you can swim without stopping. If you're currently doing 400 yds in 30 min, next week shoot for 450 yds each day, then 500 yds the next week. You may also want to work on technique. It sounds like you are reasonably in shape, but cannot move through the water efficiently. Find some drills to improve your stroke. Technique is why a very out-of-shape former swimmer is often a faster swimmer than a very in-shape runner with little swimming experience.
