Im in lifeguard tryouts and I need to be able to swim 3/10 mile in 11 minutes which i did today in exactly 11 minutes but next week i need to be able to swim it in 10 minutes to get the job so i was wanted to know if you guys could tell me any training or swimming tips or if its even possible to progress that much in a week. Thanks.

We are mostly training in the ocean but some of the days we are in the pool and those are the days they do all the timing, so the 3/10 mile will be in the pool. I can swim the 100 yard in about 1:40 but its mainly just long distance that gives me trouble because i get so out of breath. And i dont kick real hard but i do kick. I doubt my form is real good because i just started swimming but im always in the ocean surfing and kiteboarding and stuff so my endurance isnt horrible its just not as good as it needs to be.
