I am getting back into swimming. I currently try to swim laps every day. I do approx. 1000 yds. My endurance is not good. I can only do 75 yds. non-stop only about 3 times. It takes me about 45 minutes to complete the 1000 yds. I do 200 free, 100 back, 100 free with pull, & 100 free each set. I quit swimming 40 yrs ago. Too many years of smoking and not taking care of myself. Can someone give me tips on a daily workout to improve endurance, stamina, and speed? My goal is to compete in Senior Games in the 50 and 100 free. Thanks

I can swim *** stroke non stop all day long, but Freestyle absolutely kills me. The most I can do is 50 yards without stopping and then it's 'bring out the oxygen tank!'
I seem to swim about 1000 yards every time I am in the pool, and on my 'marathon' days (one day a week), more like 1200 or so. Once a month I go for a mile.
So I'm looking for something to help me build my endurance without killing me -- we are a new club and don't have a coach.
I have trouble reading the 'lingo' in these workouts posted. I sit there and go "huh?"
Thanks in advance, getting ready to go to the pool now. Our clock was broken the other day; hopefully they got that fixed.:eek:
