How much time would a beginner learn competitive swimming skills?
Your question is not really clear. If you’re asking, “how long would it take to learn competitive swimming skills?” then I can answer that. Most kids go through a developmental program when they join a team. With age groupers, they start off learning all four strokes, turns and starts. To get to a level where they are able to race takes a couple of months. That of course, depends on the individual. Now, the process of learning to compete never ends. There are so many skills to learn that it takes years to master them. The nice part of being a member of an age group swim team is that the kids are put in races against swimmers of comparable skill and speed. There are time based goals that all of the swimmers work to reach.
