help please

hi i swim 30 minutes free, interval no rests. then 30 second rest then another 30 minutes, interval, no rests. i notice all the masters swimmers and swim teams take WAY more rests. is there anything wrong with the way i workout? i'm swimming to build a nice body, not speed or endurance or anything like that, please help, your comments are appreciated. thank you dave:) If you're looking to swim for muscle tone, then I think you're better off doing short sets with higher intensity. I don't think long, slower, swimming is a bad thing, but it will be harder to get what you're looking for. If you're new to swimming, long, slow swimming is probably a good way to gain stamina and comfort in the water. So it's probably an important part of your regimen. Maybe start decreasing the amount of LSD swimming and start adding in short, more intense sets, and work in that direction. Also, are you doing flip turns or open turns?
