A good swimming workout to get in shape?

I need to get in shape for football which is about a month away. I’m not that in good of shape as of now so i would need a begginers work out for my pool. I’m 5’2 150 lbs
I need a workout for beginners

Is swimming in a small pool good exercise?

I do cardio twice a week on my off days from the gym. One day i go for a run and the other i like to go for a swim. My pool is only about 5m long though so i can swim it in a few strokes. If i swim lots of laps say 50-100 will this be moderate cardio?

What is a good snack after a swimming workout?

I’m always starving after swim practice. I was wondering if there is something healthy to hold me over until dinner? Nothing too big because I have dinner a few hours after I get home.

What’s a good Swim technique/help book?

I am a high school swimmer, with some experience I guess. I had some training up until I started doing high school swim and I want to improve my times, and get better overall! I don’t do club swim or anything either. Any recommended readings?
In case your curious about my times:
50 free: 27
100 breast: 1:22
500: 6:26
100 free: 1:05
Nothing to brag about but not completely horrendous

Do you think it’s good to have compulsory swimming lessons for children?

Thank you
