I was hoping someone could help me out here. I started swimming about 4 months ago. I try to swim 1600 meters 3-4 times a week freestyle. My fastest time so far is 27.5 min's to finish and I just can't seem to do it any faster. I guess my first question is "is that even a good time??"
2nd question - To help speed up my time should I continue to do the mile a day and keep working on my time, or should I do more laps to build up my endurance? I really want to get to 25 min's but I'm getting a little discouraged because I'm not improving on my time

Thanks for the feedback! I will try your suggestions for varying my workout, hopefully this will help! Someone suggested to me that if I learned how to do a flip turn eventually this would take a lot of time off. I have never learned how to do a flip turn and every time I try I get a nose full of water! Maybe with more practice I can get it down. I have looked everywhere on the internet to try to find some sort of picture diagram to show the steps of the flip turn but all I seem to find are descriptions and I just don't get it :>( Anyone know where to find something like that?
