Which of the following have you found to be the best way to increase you swimming distance?
1. Set your distance and swim it using any combination of strokes you need to, and keep doing this until you are swimming the whole thing freestyle.
2. Set your distance and specific combinations and swim it. 3 free, 1 any, etc. (for example)
3. Use intervals adding up to your set distance, and decrease the rest intervals until you are swimming the distance continuous.
4. Have a friend boat you to your set distance in an ocean/lake and then swim to shore. (I'm joking about this right?)
5. A combination of 1-4.
I realize this is likely an individual preference matter (what isn't?), but I am new at this (3 months) and am wondering how most folks go about being able to swim their set distance (or longer). I swim 3 times per week, 2 days drills, one day key workout.
If this has already been discussed in another thread (or even another site), please provide a link and I'll read through it. I looked around but didn't see anything.
