One of our swimmers on the Elgin Blue Wave Masters team brought up a guy who swims 14,000 yards a day each and every day to achieve his yearly total. I find this really difficult to comprehend. Has anyone heard of such swimmers?
Swim programs in the 80’s had that kind of volume, and even some elites in recent years. Bowman’s group at NBAC did like 14-16K every day. But that was with guys like Phelps. It’s not impossible, but for a masters swimmer it’s unnecessary to the point of being ludicrous.
