hi, i'm preparing for my 1st sprint triathlon. can anyone give me some idea of a decent swim time over 400 meters in pool. So far my time is 10 mins and i don't feel exhausted afterwards so i think if i work on technique can do better. Any comments grateful thanks

Depending on where in the country you are I'm sure there's a club close by.....
People who swim all their life still work on technique almost daily, so don't expect to have perfect technique overnight. Read lots (books and net), watch technique movies (you tube, ...), get personal coaching, read this forum! All things that may help. But most important: consistency.
Keep up the good work,

Also, as you swim, don't look ahead to the end of the pool - look down at the bottom, this keeps your head down and legs up meaning you are more streamlined in the water. Final thought for now is to try and take long strokes as you swim as this will also make you more efficient.
Enjoy.
