I'm new to swimming and really suck at it. I'm still working up to swimming 50m without stopping for a quick break before I starting back up again. I know my technique is bad but I'm still just learning the basics. Is doing a mile everyday without breaks between laps the equivalent of say being able to do an easy 10 miler like it was nothing? Or is it counterproductive to do a straight one miler everyday and instead to break it up into different sets. If I swim everyday for 1-2 hours, how long do you think it would take for me to be able to swim non-stop for a mile?
