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.

    Thanks for the great advice everyone. Lots to think about. I used to compete at masters swim meets, so I do know a bit, just a bit rusty ! I am consistent with rubber band exercises for looking after my rotator cuff and I do have a good daily stretching routine so I should be OK. I like Knelsons suggestion of 2 days on 1 day off. There is a very good masters team at the pool and I will join them soon. Might even try a swim meet again ! Thanks to all, Gareth
