My job requires me to swim 500 yards in under 12 minutes, and I have 30 days to prepare. Currently, I struggle to swim 50 yards without needing a break. Is it possible to reach my goal with intense effort? How hard will I need to train? What tips and workouts would you recommend?

it aint easy but practice and adhereing to advice Take into account consulting a swim coach. To maximize your success, a coach can offer tailored training regimens and feedback.
Cross-training: Exercises like weight training, cycling, and running will increase your general stamina and fitness, which can help you swim better.
Pay attention to your body. To prevent overtraining and injuries, take days off when necessary. Swimming is a skill that you will always require. Be persistent in your training, have patience, and acknowledge your accomplishments as you go. You’ll be well on your way to developing into a stronger and more certain swimmer even if you don’t swim 500 yards in 30 days!

Spend as much time as you need to develop a good breathing pattern and keep your head down. After mastering that, perform 10x50 with a 15-second break.
Pay attention to the time you spend on each of them. When you can perform 50s consistently, reduce the rest time to 10 seconds, then 5 seconds.
