I've worked my way up to 800 situps / day by doing 400 in sets of 30 (and 1 of 40) twice a day. My question is: should I do this EVERY day or not?? I know that for arms/legs you're supposed to leave 1 or 2 days of rest between lifting workouts. Is it the same for abdominals or is it OK and beneficial to work them EVERY day??
Thanks in advance!

Abs and calves are the two things you can work on daily.
I would only suggest giving yourself a rest day every week, perhaps every two weeks, just to be safe.
I am not sure the long term effect of doing it twice a day though. If it is not interfering with your swimming then I guess it is not a big deal, but my limited experience in physical training cannot answer that aspect of your question. But I would tend to suggest doing it all at once.
Hope this helps!
