how many reps/ sets should i do???...k???

Answer 1

doesnt matter as long as you do so much that you feel you will die if you do another rep, then rest

Answer 2

There are many factors that affect your workout. Consult a trainer, instructor or coach. Tell them your goals, your current workouts, your current times, what you aim to improve and how much time you can devote to training. Theycan help you build a plan that will create the most efficient stroke and speed combination.

I also recommend the book "The Fit Swimmer" by Marianne Brems. It contains over 120 tips, tricks and workouts for swimmers of all levels, ages and abilities.

Also, this website allows you to build personalized swim workouts based on you goals, current times, time to train, etc:

Good luck!

Answer 3

it depends on what your program is, it is best to consult a coach and you can describe what kind of result you want then maybe he can give you some advice on what to do.

also it is not in the reps that you will get thinner/ fitter. it is how you work your heart rate. sample you can just make 20 laps of fast paced swimming but more effective than 50 laps of slow paced swimming. and if you want to improve your strokes no matter how your muscles ache you should endure it in both fast and slow pace swimming.
