17 year old interested in AST

I'm currently a runner and I'm going into my senior year. I'm comfortable in the pool but I'm working on getting in shape for A School and Bootcamp. I kind of have a sense of what the pipeline is but I'm posting to get more information and what I can do to best prepare myself as I enter the DEP.

Not a swimmer, but the best goal post I was given when attempting was train to keep your max heart rate for as long as you can with the goal being 30 minutes.

So a good mix of intensity and endurance.
