How can i become a much better swimmer?

It takes a lot of time and patients to become a Great swimmer but heare is what u can do: 1.Get in swim lessons. Trust me-they help a lot. You will know how to do all of the strokes. Do that until you are a level 4 or 5. 2. Start working out alone do this in order: Week 1-3: Warm up: 100 free (elbows sharp, head down, breath on 3rds) 50 back (Head back, back arched, arms stiff and straight) 50 breast ( pull/breath, kick, glide) 25 butterfly( butt up, sholders wide, face in water before arms) 50 free (pull with arms no kicking) 50 back pull Kick: With kick board: 100 flutter 50 butter With dumbell: 50 flutter on stomach 50 flutter on back reapeat for butter. Endurance: Swim for 15 min free style Practice 2 or 3 days every week (it helps if u get on a team or in lessons too) Every 3 weeks make each workout a little longer and progress ex. instead of 100 free do 150 and so on every 3 wks until u feel that u are strong. Then stick with one challenging workout

Something that might help a lot is talking to a local swim coach. Someone who has been around the sport a while and has taught the sport to new and experienced swimmers. Swimming can be easier if you break it up. Do a lap then rest 10-15 seconds. Keep doing that for a while or until you feel that your stroke and technique has improved.

Try going with a friend or family member and have some races. Swim around for fun. and maybe every ten or fifteen minutes do 7-10 laps. I mostly swim for fun and im a really good swimmer now.
