I have been swimming for almost 2 months about 5 times per week. In the beginning I did mostly freestyle and a little breaststroke but have been taking a class to learn the other strokes. I found out my breaststroke technique was off and am revamping it. I can do backstroke but am still refining technique a bit. I am learning butterfly - learned dolphin kick this past week.
My question is about how to spend my time at the pool. I have been spending about 45 minutes in the past month. I warm up with a little freestyle. Then I spend about 10-15 minutes each on backstroke, breaststroke, and butterfly (aka dolphin kick right now). Is that a good idea? Or should I devote entire workouts to one stroke at a time? I think that could work better - I would have more time to get the technique down. But I worry I will lose something if I don't maintain a little every day. Any suggestions? Should I spend more time in the pool?
Thanks -

Some master clubs have some complete beginners. I have visited many where some could barely swim a length of the pool. So don't be shy. Give a city where you live and some one may be able to make a suggestion. If you lived in Yellownife NWT there is a swim club there and that is 20 miles from the Tundra (perma frost).
