No. Don't expect times to improve in leaps and bounds in the pool in a short time frame - focus on your technique and breathing as opposed to flailing your arms in attempt of gaining speed. Good technique is speed.

I swim regularly, I tend to stick to longer distances though as swimmings my main excercise (10, or 12.5k a week). I use this time to improve my stroke and to ensure my form is spot on. Don't do sprint sessions all too often, but my brother timed me at 14 seconds for 25m, so I'm probably at around 28/30 seconds for 50m.

Also, if you see good swimmers in the pool with you, ask them for advice. People who swim are usually friendly and experienced, and having that advice will be largely beneficial for your own swimming.

As ever, make sure you're eating lots of protein for that quick recovery and STAY HYDRATED. Often overlooked. Enjoy your swim OP
