Days off per week

I swim 1,800 yards per day and I swim it in 42 minutes. I'm working to lose weight, get in better shape and become a better swimmer. Is 5 days on, 2 off per week good? What would be the ideal # of rest days per week? Thanks! Don

  • Thanks, Mark. I appreciate your comments. I'm 64 and just started lap swimming in June... I'm loving it! Just finished a stretch where I swam 18 days out of 19 but I'm thinking that more rest would be helpful. Took the day off yesterday and felt strong in the pool today. I've been swimming about 12k yards per week in a 25 yard pool. Thanks again, great comments!
