Answer 1

You should be swimming an hour or more per day( and I mean per day!) You should build up your srength by doing the harder strokes more freequntly like the fly and also free builds upper body strength also work out at a gym, do upper and lower body the stronger your musces are he more you will be able to pull, your breathing will also get back to what it use to be when you were swimming before so dont worry about that good luck!!!

Answer 4

if its a 20 FOOT pool then well u cant practice there you need to find a 25 yard/meter and for that to get in shape you should swim on a schedule like:

Monday: Butterfly

Tuesday: backstroke

Wednesday: Breaststroke

Thursday: Freestyle

Friday: I.M.

i recommend you have about 3 or 4 sets like 1 for a warm up 1 as a drill set 1 as a main and 1 for a warm down to start

each around 1000 meters
