I've just returned to swimming, and wondered what a "Typical" Masters Swimmer averages per week. How many swims each week, and how many yards/meters are covered in those swims?
My routine is just three mornings a week, between 3500 to 5000 meters, taking 60 to 80 minutes. I can't imagine swimming more with a family and job, but remember swimming so much more as a child.
Is this a common realization for those returning to swimming (with both a family and job)?

I try to get in 12K Meters per week in 4 workouts with one of the workouts being mostly kicking. This is WAY less than what I did in college but it is what I can squeeze in. I do more strength training than before though, and have been happy with the results. Buy a couple of dumbells and do some weight training at home.
