I have recently strated swimming for exercise and fitness in the morning before work. I have joined my local Y, and only have 45 minutes to get in a good workout. I do 50's 100's and sometimes 200's freestyle reps. I would like to add to my routine to improve stamina and speed. All the workouts posted take over an hour, What else can be done in 45 minutes? Thanks

Jim I can Tell you what I do May be It will help. I swim twice a week . I use my swimming for cardio and excerise. This is monday and friday.I will swim 200 laps in a 25 meter pool. All free style. Non stop. This is done in 3 phases , !st 64 laps is moderate speed 2nd 64 laps is distance the balance is for endurance. Also i do I do a number of different excercises in the gym 3- 4 times a week. But in your case , if you want to excerise whyn do 50 100s . why not use that hour you have and swim the whole hour right thru. After all you do not indicate you are training for any races. :) :cool: :)
