Need advise from those who know... is this improvement?
Background information- Female, 44, almost 2 months back in the water. Work out in a 25yd pool.
Working on endrance as suggested by those on the forum.
Today I did 1200 yds. in about 30min. Taking short breaks every 100yds, breaks started at about 2 mins - up to less than 5 maybe toward the end- (breaks are estimated time) Some freestyle with filps, some without. few 100's backstroke and 1-50 ***.
I like to think it's getting better, it was 1200yds in almost 1 hour about 4 weeks ago.
What should I be shooting for? As far as yds and time.
I understand and agree I need to work on form and endrance before speed.

My short term goal is to do 200yds, non-stop with all flip turns, then set a new short term goal.
Currently my 200yds are -first 100 yds, all flips, then open turns on the next 100 with a less than 15 sec. rest.
I don't know if I can go any slower, I feel like I'm crawling as it is, I guess I can try though. I concentrate on keeping my head down, and reaching out on my stroke when doing freestyle.
I can only get in 30 mins swims 2-3 days during the weekdays, and an hour on Sundays. Hoping once school starts I can go a full hour during the weekday. The Y's pool times will change for the fall.
Long term goals are - working on starts, increasing speed
Ande - I would love to send you a tape, I really would love the pointers, can't do underwater tape though is that okay?? Do you want me taped doing a slow swim or as fast as I can sprints,
doing what type of yardage?
