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.

    Last night I hated swimming. The thought of a pool made me ill. This morning the thought of a pool made me happy. Tomorrow the thought of a pool will have me climbing the walls. I will swim on Monday. "3 to 6 sessions per week" is an important new statement in My Swimming directive.
