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.
If you like swimming every day, by all means do it. You are not required to swim hard every day, so some days can be fun or recovery days.
Spend plenty of time warming up. That means easy swimming, not sprinting until you are out of breath. And your stretching regimen helps a lot, too.
