Swimming tips

Ask an experienced swimmer to watch you swim a lap and give you tips. Technique is king.

Do you do tumble turns? That will save you a couple of seconds on each turn.

Apart from that just keep swimming regular;y and do some intervals

this. I'm a swim coach and personal coaching is mandatory for swimmers at *any* level. get comfortable with you stroke so you can do it in your sleep, then ask for advice. in swimming, habits are easier to fix than making brand new muscle patterns. this should be your cycle: practice until technique is thoughtless, then fix it, repeat.

Dude that is a piece of cake. Just dont swim like your life depended on it at the first few laps and you will be fine.

As other anons mentioned, you need to work on your technique so it is fluid and efficient. You need to learn to breathe properly and pace yourself. Your strokes should not be too fast; they should follow proper form and be somewhat long and relaxed.

Stretch your arms out forward with your stroke and try to catch as much water as you can so you push yourself forward as much as possible with each pull. Your arms should go close to your body and focus on propelling yourself forward. Make sure your elbows come out of the water first as you reset your stroke. When you breathe - and you should be breathing every 2 or 3 strokes otherwise you'll tire - try not to move your head too much so that you don't create more resistance and slow down as a result.
