>>331988 your swimming should be broken down into sets of distance and sprints. example: 500 meters 30 seconds rest 500 meters pull 30 seconds rest 500 meters kick, 30 seconds rest 50 meters very easy 4x25 meters all out sprints 45 seconds rest 50 meters very easy 4x25 meters all out sprints 45 seconds rest cooldown, 200 meters moderate etc... total: 2000 meters
don't just swim nonstop the whole time. For one reason, it can get pretty boring. The second is that your body has no time to rest and recover. You need some rest time so you can catch your breath and keep giving it your all. You also wont get much out of your workout, since you'll most likely just keep it at a moderate to slow pace the whole time, instead of pushing yourself to get faster. It's not necessarily like running where you go for an hour nonstop. At least, if you don't want to lose any weight you can do it this way.
