I found a pool for the summer. my limit is 1- 1 1/2 hours on the pool per day . I do dryland 2-3 times a week and I want to swim 3 times a week. I want to improve my butterfly and freestyle before college. know any good workouts or sets i can do I can build up to before season starts. (btw this is D3)
Heres my time last season: I was 5'10 and weighted 205
50 free: 26.5
100 free:1:01.5
50fly:31.74
100fly:1:24

There are others who are much better suited to giving you advice but I have a few tips. Swim slowly and try to maximize your distance per stroke. Try to swim 250-300 yards a week at your 50m or 100m race pace. You will need lots of rest. To improve your fly do a lot of freestyle, a lot of fly drill, and some full stoke fly with lots of rest. Don't try to swim fly when you can't maintain form. Improve your dolphin and flutter kick so you can kick hard for the whole race.
If you have time read through the entire swim faster faster thread linked above.
Good luck.
