Session Frequency vs Session Volume.

So, as a know-nothing-newbie, I decided that I should swim most days, but with very modest session totals. Lately I typically swim 1200m-2000m per session. (I love the idea of 10km per week!!) I've wondered if I would be much better off with 3km+ sessions, but maybe 3-4 times per week? The thing is - I love swimming daily, and I DO NOT LOVE being in the pool for over an hour. I'm doing what I love, but sometimes love is blind!! :) I'd love to hear from experienced swimmers if you think that most days per week at modest volumes is a better recipe than fewer times per week at much higher volumes. Maybe it depends on how newbie you are? Maybe it depends upon what you are training for? Thanks for any thoughts you may have on this. I appreciate it greatly.

  • .... Maybe it depends upon what you are training for? .... DING! You are a winner! It is more about what you are training for than anything else. Since you seem to love it, and don't want to be in the water over an hour, you're doing just fine! I swim 6 days a week, and around 15,000 yards a week. I have to fit it in around teaching lessons and coaching.
