0 to 1650 in 6 Weeks
Ruth Kazez leads you through a program to get you from zero to one mile of swimming in six weeks. Young or old, fit or not, six weeks seems to be the most common length of time it takes to be able to swim a mile without stopping for breath. It requires three times per week and the willingness to be somewhat uncomfortable while stretching your aerobic capability.

A Swim Training Workout Plan for Swimmers
You are a swimmer, and have the basics of a swimming workout figured out and want to be a better, but other than getting in the pool, you feel like a beginner? No coach to write a fitness workout for you? Maybe you are a swimmer stuck in a rut, always doing the same workout, week after week, and want to try something different? Here's a swimming workout plan to help you get fitter (and maybe faster) through a progressive swimming training plan.

Lunchtime Swim Workouts
If it's going to take more than an hour to get to the pool, change, shower, and change again, these workouts may be perfect for you. Assuming you have less than an hour for the swim, changing, and just a run through the shower, you might be able to get through these basic swims. If you're sore the next day, though, add a little swim down. Even a hundred yards will help. (Ruth Kazez)
