You would need someone to look at your swimming techniques.
It could be that your swimming technique is not as efficient as it should be. -
Get someone to correct your techniques... and if it's really bad, start from the basics.

but check w u..abt 20 strokes to 50metres too slow or just ok?Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:Get someone to correct your techniques... and if it's really bad, start from the basics. -
Put on a nitro pack?
Just kidding...
To improve on the speed of swimming in various styles requires the fundamental basics to be correct...
Also the hydrodynamics of the way you cut through the water is also important...
If you think your techniques are right, look at you hydrodynamics...
Alternatively, train up through the brute way... Train up your hydroendurance... Give yourself a targetted time to finish a lap on 50m... -
tie a motor jet behind your back
and woohoo, you will swim so fast, that you can break the olympics record -
Have this behind you...
I guarantee you will swim faster...
-
stretch ur hands and legs fully.

Which style?Originally posted by wului99:but check w u..abt 20 strokes to 50metres too slow or just ok? -
Lose weight be lighter and you can swim faster Serious =P
-
I do not think strokes determine your speed...more strokes means faster what.
-
train and train and you can swim faster...
-
Have someone tie you with a rope and tell that person to pull as fast as he or she can at the ending point.

train your hand and leg power...
hand can pull yourself ahead... leg can provide the propellant... -
swim alot laps will build your stamina
but just kick harder, at bigger rotations. -
is the correct technique in order to swim faster... some ppl you see they like use all their energy pull and kick but only like move tat little bit. some ppl u see they 1 pull can glide very far...
-
when you are pulling your arms back, close your fingers together so your hand becomes a pedal like surface. if you find it harder to pull back its working.
when you kick, kick straight. some people kick towards the bottom haha.
and wearing a swim cap helps a lot especially if you're a girl. -

17.... i still cant float

deeper breaths do help

Ok, the usual way to determine how fast you swim, is 1 lap.Originally posted by wului99:but check w u..abt 20 strokes to 50metres too slow or just ok?
Normally, 1 lap-50m, takes an average swimmer using br-eaststroke 1min.
For front-crawl, about 55s.
You can try to use more of your arms to bring the water to the rear when you swim. Also, instead of 1 stroke 1 breath, for the beginning 20-25m, you can take 2 strokes, 1 breath.
Also focus on your leg kicking, this can increase your efficiency very much. In essence, try to bring your body as horizontal as possible when you swim, rather than your front body close to water line, and your waist and legs under the water. This creates a lot of resistance. -
eat some fish grills. you will grow some fish grills. then u can breathe underwater, hence no need to up up for breath, hence much faster.
2nd stage will be eat some fish tails.... -
Fingers must be tighly close. don't allow any gap between your fingers.
Never breath too long for air.
