Swimming

How long have you been swimming and how much swimming (time and distance) do you do in each session? Endurance take a while to develop. What kind of swimming plan are you using? I've had good success with the 0-1650 plan. Keep at it at least twice a week and it will get easier.

thanks for the link....

This is my 10th week of working out in the pool. I could not swim 25 m without thinking I was drowning. I had played around in the water as a kid so I was not afraid of it but I had never been taught how to swim freestyle. My swim coach had us doing a lot of backstroke to get our endurance up and drills to work on our freestyle. We are training for an 800m race so ours is a little different then the workout in the 0-1650 plan but we consistantly swim 1000-1400m during a workout and I do just fine now. I also have been swimming 3 times a week for about an hour.
