I added wrong! I've been swimming 14,000 yards per week for the last 15 years, not 30,000! :afraid:I recently hit 60 and have begun to wonder if my times would improve if I did less yards and incorporated more quality workouts in. Since I have a bit of OCD, I would like your input for those 50 and over. How many yards a week do you put in?

    That was brilliant, chowmi. While some minimum level of yardage is necessary, it isn't the only thing that matters! The minimum level that works for me is enough to practice my races once a week. Strength, endurance, flexibility, and even technique (using visualization) can all be developed outside of the pool.
