  • If you don't live in the uk, sorry about this. I don't know about other countries, Im going to sound stupid but here we go lol-

    Here, we have counties. Pretty much all counties have swimming clubs , so just contact them.

    To build up your speed, just practice, and practice. Once you have your stamina, you're all good! You really have to push yourself though, see if you can find someone to train with in your own time. This will allow you to compete, and push yourself to beat them.

    To hold your breathe longer, there's not really much I know about to help that, I guess you should just work on swimming. Breathe isn't really that much of an issue swimming, as long as you can hold it for 2-3 strokes on your free, then it's all good.

  • You should start by seeing if your school has a modified or JV swim team. This way, you get to swim for free, and while being on a team the coaches teach you how to improve your swimming. If not, then check to see if your town or city has a community team. These teams are for people of all ages, and coaches work hands-on to teach you the basics and eventual mastery of swimming. With either of these options you will become gradually faster and be able to hold your breath longer.

  • Maybe your county pool has a summer swim team which you can join with usually no tryouts. This willmhelp you increase your speed and stamina which will really help you if there is a tryout for the swim team team you will attend in the winter. To find a swim club just search into google or whatever search engine you have "swimming clubs in _____________" (put whatever your town is on the line) this is what I did and know I am on a competitive swim team! Hope this works for you!"

  • No. i think of they're doing the ideal ingredient limiting the fits, they'd desire to have carried out it an prolonged time in the past. i think of to a great quantity the cost of the tournament is being hyped. Michael Phelps somewhat gained the one hundred fly interior the Olympics while he supposedly had a a good distance extra advantageous tournament. Then a year later he trounces the comparable guy who now supposedly has the extra useful tournament. the only difficulty i myself have with the hot fits is they're going to sidestep young ones from aggressive swimming except they have prosperous dad and mom.
