Answer:

by being a professional athlete for several years now primarily in swimming I have found it to be very efificient to kick your feet as fast as you can as this improves both muscle strength in your tendons and also your cardiovascular system. Within time youll be swimming 20 second laps

Answer:

There are 2 main ways to improve your swimming: reducing drag and increasing propulsion. Focusing on technique during your workouts will help you refine your stroke over time and you'll get faster as a result. To reduce drag, take a look at your body position.

Front Crawl is also known as freestyle, as it is the most used stroke in freestyle events. This is because it is the fastest and most efficient of all the strokes. To perform the front crawl, lie on your tummy in the water.

Weights, a pull buoy, or parachute are all ways to build your strength as you swim. Think of it like running with your arms full of shopping. You're much faster once you've put them down. You can also focus on the speed of your laps.
