I've only been swimming (trying to swim properly) since January 07. I've just about got my freestyle technique ok, but I don't seem to be swimming very fast. It takes me about 15mins to swim 1.5km in a 50m pool. Can anyone give basic tips on improving speed? Maybe it's as simple as swimming more, I'm currently only swimming two or three times a week, with two of those sessions with a squad (in the speed challenged lane)! Oh, I'm also more of a runner (marathon and shorter long distance runs), and am trying to improve my swimming speed to feel more confident about competing in triathlons. Any advice appreciated.:fish2:
Good luck in Bejing. Kidding aside, you sure about that time?
Regardless,
Try inerval training where you swim fast and then rest at the wall.
A good interval set would doing 100 meters rest 30 seconds. Do this ten times. I think your goal time should be 60 seconds for 100 meters for this set.
