snorkle
- I have only been swimming for excercise for about a year, and found it very hard to regulate my breathing. The solution was to use a swimmer's snorkle. I can now just put my head down and swim as long as I want. I'm currently swimming a mile 3 times a week as part of my fitness plan.

swimming faster
- To swim faster what i do is when u start to swim dont use all of your energy meaning dont go and pass people and be first then lose your energy by going back to the last person u should take your time meaning swim normal and if somone is really slow u should pass them not to fast then once u are in front of them remain your normall speed trust me it is fun and not hard at all watch your swimming improve

Do Core Training

Swimming Tips
- I'm by far a great swimmer, but I am improving. I had the hardest time finishing 1 lap without being out of breathe. One day I was very sore and tired, I was working at a turtles pace. But I was able to do 15 laps without stopping! So, I've been working on slowing down and not trying so hard. Good luck.

If you cannot get to the pool.
- If you are not able to get to the pool, this does not mean you cant improve your swimming. Your arms and legs really help your swimming, so you can do exercises away from the pool to improve your strength.

Dont Give Up
- You are going to go through phases where you aren't doing well and adding a lot of time. I've had times where in practice I'm always dead and not doing well at all. But you have to keep going to practice and not giving up, because that phase will end. I got out of that phase and now I feel so good knowing how well I'm doing. Just stick with it!

try your best
- always believe in your self. Never give up. Always try your best in races because if you do, once you get out you feel good about your self. tight streamline. work hard in practices. keep your legs kicking and keep those arms moving. hopefully these tips will help you out because they help us a lot.
