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 -

The fastest way is to go here http://www.swimmersguide.com/ the swimmers guide. Go to the city you live in find the local pools and see if they have a swim club. Swim clubs have coaches, some good some bad. If you are not a good swimmer even a bad coach can help.
Bad coaches don't like to work with bad swimmers. I think we're just too much of a challenge!
My experience of swim clubs is that "All levels of swimmer" means many different things to many different people.
