keep swimming, that's it
look up a few videos on proper technique, you might've been swimming wrong this whole time, additionally if there is anyone who trains swimming at your local pool you can ask them for advice
work on your breathing, try doing 4 or even 6 strokes at a time before taking in your next breath, if you're a smoker, consider quitting
and obviously buy goggles and proper swimming shorts, you'll look like a tryhard faggot in them but it'll shave seconds off your time

33s for 25m with long shorts in a public pools.

Didn't test 200m.

However I need to be a (semi - ) good swimmer for an application.

>Taking more than 15 seconds for 25m

I know 12yo girls who can do it in 15

Care to explain the breathing part? Is it to increase the amount of oxygen you can take in each breath?

Not OP just another recreational swimfag
