Any competitive swimmer knows this. Heck, even non-competitive swimmers know this, it is very basic info.
How often should one swim to improve – I do 4 swim squads a week ranging from 2.6km for an intensive workout to 4.2km for distance squad and I don’t feel much improvement – but I do get sore and tired so I know that the drills are doing something.
