1] GET A PROPER COACH. 2] PRACTICE WELL..3]WORK OUT YOUR ARMS AND LEGS OUT OF WATER. 4] GET EPILATED ENTIRELY. 5] SOME SWIM COSTUMES HAVE LESS FRICTION. BUT EXPENSIVE..6] LAST BUT NOT LEAST GROW A POSSITIVE ATTITUDE..DONT AFFRAID OF INITIAL FAILURES..

There are several workouts you can do to gain speed. There are some that are done in the track and others that are done in the weight room. On the track is do technique training (stuff done at slow speeds). Work on your stride and timing. Pushing off with your back leg, arms 90 deg. front to back not across the body. Do these to warm-up. Then run using good technique at 80% of max for 50meters, then jog 50mtrs, then sprint again at 80 for 50meters. To complete two laps. Then change to 30m at 90% 1 lap then 20 meters 100% one lap. Do this until you can increase the length to 200 meters at 80% then jog. In the weight room do SQUATS! Or explosive but controlled lifts like the Power Clean, Power Snatch (hehehehe), Dead Lift, and Bench Press. Good luck with the speed gains!!

Do you have a dvd player?  Get a good dvd and use your body against itself.  I did this and swam alot and biked a lot.  I look great!

Well, i'm 16 and at the moment I can swim (crawl) 200metres (+-219 yards) in about 2mins and 8secs (I've done better :-), I stopped swimming for a while), when I was 12 or 13, i did this in about 3mins 30secs. What stroke are you refering to, crawl/freestyle, or breaststoke, or backstroke , the strokes are important in comparing time.  Good lengths to do are (sorry i work in meters :-)) 50meters (mine- 30secs), 100 meters (mine +- 1min 3secs), 200 meters, 400 meters. To get better, get your daughter to concentrate on her breathing (this increases ones lung capacity and makes them in a way fitter), in crawl- try not to breathe every 2 strokes but every 3 (breathing once on either side) If shes already doing that then great. Obviously make sure she doesn't overdo it. She can also use a board and just kick for 100meters and then just use her arms (no help from legs) for 100meters and then for another 100 meters arms and legs together, this will also help go faster (obviously all this takes time and it must be constant-everyday, every second day ect). Hope that helped.

The depth of the water shouldn't have anything to do w/your swimming ability, your confidence maybe but not how you swim.  Are you doing the crawl, breast stroke or underwater?  If you are swimming underwater, are you diving in or just swimming down from the ledge?  I don't know if this is helping or if I am just asking you questions to consider.

This is a tough question to answer through this medium without being able to see you swim, but here are the most important tips on freestyle\n\n- good rotation\n- steady kick\n- high elbow pull \n\nif you can do those you will be better

<<..yo guy... it took me like 20 mins to register for this yahoo thing, so i hope you read this...>>\n\nI am a national level swimmer and it just happens that my best event is long distance butterfly…The way to build up your stamina is to take the following steps\n\n1)Perfect your technique, (swimming fly with bad technique is one of the hardest and most tiring things to do) \n2)Don’t start with too much at a time. Start of with swimming about 20 –30% fly and the rest freestyle of backstroke… gradually start doing more and more butterfly \nI don’t know what level of swimming you are at but here is a set you may want to do :\n\n(15 X 100 meters)\n25 meters sprint full stoke \n50 meters butterfly drill (try one arm butterfly)\n25 meters sprint full stroke\n\n<<later you can increase the distance of fly>>

Work on your stroke technique. If your strokes are sound, work on the hydrodynamics of your body. Keeping your body streamlined, in the correct position, and energy efficient while in the water. If you are talking about improving your times in competitive swimming in the pool, work on the transitional parts of your swim, the start, turns, and finishes.

what is incredible about swimming is that it is horizontal exercise,and like flying in mid-air! For some people it might be the only horizontal exercise they ever get.. Because you are in the water you are able to move more weight with less resistance,and exercise your cardio-vascular system ( if you progress into laps,especially) A great body workout!!

You should DEFINITELY join! I have been swimming for a long time but i have also done other sports too. Swimming is definitely the hardest. You will have to work hard but don't even worry about your times compared to other people. You can't compare yourself to people who have been swimming longer than you. You should join your team and then focus on improving for yourself and work on beating your own times instead of other people's. It doesn't matter what other people are doing, just focus on improving for yourself.

Improve your shape and improve your technique.\n\nFor instance read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breaststroke

Increasing your speed is one of the most athletic challenges the human body can endure. Try running in a pool for awhile. After that gets too easy, put weights on your ankles and run around the pool again, worked for Michael Jordan.
