Almost 50 - Swim every day or 3 times a week ?

My question is should I start training every day or stick to every other day allowing my body time to recover between swims ? After 2 months of swimming 3 times a week I am now up to 2500m over 70 mins sessions. I am not as young as I was and I am not sure which is best for my body. I am now living next door to a 50m pool, H20 in Kelowna, BC, Canada. This is a great facility. After 10 years living in Wales, UK where my local pool was unwilling to put lanes in for workouts. I am now finally getting the chance to train and get back my swim fitness.

    My default stroke is backstroke and I usually do a 2:1 ratio of backstroke to freestyle. With the odd fly session thrown in. I am presently doing a lot of kick with fins to get my flexibility and core strength up to standard. I guess that I could alternate some mainly kick sessions with mainly swim sessions. I have the opportunity to train every day, so it is hard to stay away sometimes !
