^BREASTSTROKE^

okay today for swimming class i had to swim alot of laps each week and i get really tired. i need an efficient method that will allow me to swim faster during endurance without getting tired so easily. i usually do front crawl all the way and than back crawl all the way back. like last week i had to swim 34 laps i was like OMFG. what strokes do you usually do when doing endurance of that many laps?

Is it effective in loosing weight? If so how much? What is the most effective stroke to do? Eg. front crawl etc? And how many lengths of a swimming pool is a good amount? Thank you for help x

Hi! I can swim breastroke pretty well and both front crawl and back crawl so-so. If I get a swimming coach starting in August until November…do you think I can improve enough to do well and win on my high school’s swim team!?

I have no swimming experience except for several lessons and swimming for fun..

Thanks!

for a 17 year old male:

20 minutes intense swimming: front crawl, butterfly and breast stroke at fast speeds with quick breaks in between .

1 hour weightlifting: using medium weight free-weights, with some use of machines. press-ups and ab workout, with stretching done continuously throughout entire workout.

(I know i am too young to be lifting heavy weights, so i only lift light-medium ones)

to be repeated 3-4 times each week?

I want to be on the swim team next year but I don’t think I am very fast. I am planning to do freestyle and the front crawl technique.

How can I swim faster?

I do breast stroke, and freestyle (or known as front crawl),
Im just wondering if it makes my legs look toner, or skinnier in other words
thank you for ur time

What is the correct breathing technique for the front crawl?

Hey, I work out most days of the week, and want to start interval training at the gym to make my workout more fun (if it gets boring, I lose motivation and membership is expensive!!!)…

Does this sound like a good fat burning workout…

Jogging 10 mins..then fast walking (6.0 mph) on an incline of around 5-6…Repeated until I have done this for around 40 minutes. (Followed by 30 minutes of front crawl swimming)

Answers appreciated…and any interval training tips would help as well..

I started swimming again (free style/front crawl) in November 2010 after a 16 year break. Although I can do 40-50 25 yard laps a day, I need to take a 10-30 second break between laps or sometimes more.

How can I build stamina and endurance to keep going without breaks?

I am 27 years old, male, 141 pounds. I do do weights (3-4 times a week, particularly the p90x program).

Any suggestions on diet? I am a vegetarian but eat eggs.
