Training suggestion:
4 lengths of a 25 m pool is 100m.
Swim 100m of breast stroke followed by 100m of front crawl.
Have a rest and if you still feel good repeat, keep repeating.
When that is too easy swim 200m (8 lengths) breast stroke followed by 200m front crawl.
Have a shorter rest and if you still feel good repeat, keep rpeating.
When that is too easy swim 250m breast stroke (10 lengths) followed by 250m frontcrawl. Without resting repeat 3 times.
You have now swum 1500m non stop.
You are now ready to start working on your stroke style, borrow or buy a kick buoy and a pull buoy. After you have swum your 1500m do a couple of lengths of each stroke either kicking or pulling.
As a warm down do a couple of lengths of breast stroke and front crawl very slowly. In the breast stroke pause between the kick amd the arm action (and vice versa) feeling yourself glide and slow down. In the breast stroke concentrate on gettting your bi lateral (2 sided) breathing right and getting 2 kicks per arm action.
