> I've got a survival swimming test coming up in 1 month and badly need some advice on how to swim as quickly as possibly whilst fully clothed, i.e. shoes, socks, trousers, polo shirt and a jacket or hoodie - all of which must be cotton.

> I have to do 100m in 2mins and I'm a way off that pace at the moment. It also comes after about 40 mins of sprints and breath holds.

> Any tips on how to swim quickly with this massive amount of drag? Any training ideas?

> Also any ideas on how best to minimise the drag and extra weight of sodden clothing? I've already removed linings and pockets etc.

> Thanks, Skylar
