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.
ok, thanks ill try it today. I dont have any problem swimming short distances but after a few laps i get really tired and i cant swim a 100 yard in 1:40 any more. So i guess i should just try some breathing exercises too.
Sounds like endurance, which takes time to acquire, and possibly slowing down so you can get the feel of continuous swimming (or swimming shorter distances faster, or both). Endurance would also be useful for rowing the boat out to body, swimming one-handed back to shore while dragging the body, performing CPR, and dealing with customer issues.
