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:

Concho,
At this juncture, you're probably better off focused on increasing yardage rather than improving your 50 time. That will come with the yardage. You can worry about speed improvements once you get to a reasonable training level. IMHO you're not there yet.
You say that you can do a 50 in 35 secs and a 100 in 1:20 (I'm assuming SCY).
So why not do a 300 warmup, then
5 x 100 on the 2:00 then
10 x 50 on the 1:00
then a 200 cool down
there you are at 1500 and it should take you about a 1/2 hour.
