Hi, first of all: I'm from Germany, so please be patient with me and my english ;)
I am swimming for 5-6 times a week with a motivated lifeguard crew but without a professional trainer.
I want to get faster on 50, 100 and 200m free until next februrary (lifesaving competition).
My times are about 27s on 50m and 2,35min on 200m...
My question is how to plan the training for the next 6 months.
Should I split the time and focus on endurance, speed and technique for a time some weeks or should I do everything every week?
And when should I do additional strength training? Same day when I'm doing sprints? Or on the recovery day?
Thanks!

Thank you for your answer.
Stupid question: what is a negative split? Something like 100 - 50 - 50?
And should I swim the 100 free intervals and broken 200 on 200 pace or "as fast as possible"?
I hope mental toughness will come with training ;)
