I've been swimming since I was little but splashing around in the pool was the extent of it. About 2 years ago I decided to do some "real" swimming. Since then I've been swim for 1/2 hour 3-4 times a week. I took a lesson last year and learnt some drills. I practice them often.
Now I can swim but I'm slow. I can swim 1300 yards in about 1/2 hour. My fastest 50 yards is about 50 seconds. I can sustain 50 yards a minute for about 200 yards. But more alarmingly, I feel I've hit a plateau. I've been at about the same place for the last 3 months. I'd hate to think that this is as far as I'd get.
Suggestions, advice, encouragement or even reality checks are greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

the quickest way for speed challenged swimmers to get faster is by improving their technique & equipment.
One on One lessons are best.
Have a one on one swim faster faster session.
Have someone who is an excellent swimmer get in the water and watch what you are doing & offer improvement suggestions.
