I would say 400 is plenty. Get you time down on that first.

to be extremely good your 50 m should be under 30 but if your just starting that's insane, i swim a 34-35 50 and i'm considered a better swimmer, not the best but pretty good. don't expect it all at once bcuz when i started swimming i swam my 50 at around 47, it goes down with time. ANother thing have another thing your good at freestyle isn't everything, i actually did pretty good owith breaststroke, just focus on your strengths and not your weaknesses... also fastness does not just come work on your technique proper technique gives faster times, ask your coach for pointers before tryouts...

You need 'in water' Tai Chi.... Badly, my friend.\nOr even plain Tai Chi.\nThen, work your way up to gentle swimming.\nThink of the pool as your best friend!\nof course, professional advice is best.

Swimming is a build up sport.\nstart off slow say 20 laps(without stopping)\ndo that for a week.\nNext week try 25 or 30. \nJust keep building it up.\nYou will eventually be fit enough to swim a few kms if you want.

How good a swimmer are you? If you can do a 16 minute swim, that would be a very good time. 17 minutes would be considered reasonable.

Try circuit training. Circuit training is when you have a set order of exercises that you will be doing. Do high reps at your first station for 1 minute. Use a weight light enough that you will be able to lift it continuously for the whole minute. Once done, rest for a minute and move to your next station. At your next station do your exercise for the minute then rest for a minute and so on. If 1 minute is too long do 30 or 45 second intervals.\nThe exercises you do should hit each of your major body parts; legs, back, chest, shoulders, arms, and abs. Try and do 3 movements per body part. Work through each body part, then cycle through each body part again doing a different exercise, then your final cycle through the body part with a different exercise.\nSuggestion for exercises:\nLegs - leg press, leg extensions, leg curls\nBack - lat pull downs, cable rows, straight arm pull downs\nChest - Press, incline press, flys\nShoulders - shoulder press, bent over flys, upright rows\narms - curls, tricep extensions, hammer curls\nabs - crunches, situps, hanging leg lifts\n\nThe key to lifting weights when swimming is to do high reps at light weights. You don't want to bulk up. Lift in the off season and start to cut down your lifting during the season. Make sure that you stretch out well after done. You don't want to lose flexibility.

As long as you can swim well, and haul in someone in distress, that's all that matters. Beyond that, get your body fit however you want it to be.

You definately want to be able to do a background check on them and get references and ask if they are willing to get certified in cpr and first aid or coaches safety training.  You want to ask them about their coaching philosophy and about the type of environment they want to have on the team.  From this question you can see if they will fit with what you want the team to be.  Some swim coaches are very serious, no games, hard practices, all about performance, even in rec leagues, and some coaches see rec leagues as being about the swimmers experience and having it be fun for everyone and giving everyone the chance to swim everything, etc.  You also might want to ask them if they are willing to get into the water in order to help teach beginners on the team.  Also, ask how they do meet entries.  Is it about letting everyone try everything, or will the fastest kids get the most events and the slowest kids get fewer entries with whatever is leftover?  Finally, I'd give them a couple situations and ask how they'd deal with it.  For example, a parent being upset with their kids meet entries, two swimmers verbally or physically fighting at practice, or a parent comes to the coach with concerns that their child is being made fun of or picked on at practice because of their weight or skills.  It is most important to make sure the coach has a coaching philosophy that matches what you want for the team, and that the coach is able to deal with both the parents and swimmers in a manner that you agree with, because that is where most of the problems come from with age-group swim coaches.

Don't worry !!! First you must feel very comfortable in the water - walk, run, jump etc. Next step is contact water with your face. If you feel that everything is all right then you can hold your breath under the water: standing at the wall, with and without float (or another equipment). First start swimming with some equipment (legs, hands) and then start do it without those things. Process of learning  is very difficult to describe and put it down.I can say something more about your movement in the water  if I could see how you move.Some people learns very fast some doesn't want to even put their face into the water. I had all of them and now their can swim :) so don' worry :)

swimming is a great calorie and fat burner.. if you really want to build muscle you would have to really train hard. \n\nusing paddles will build some arm muscle, and kicking fly will tone your stomach

Speedos could be a deadly weapon to either of them!\nI'd maybe go for Meatloaf, he's 'tasty' enough I suppose.
