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'm on the lower end of the scale- i average about 9000 meters per week, including 3 masters practices and one open water swim. having said that, i've recently just started masters swimming and i plan on upping the mileage once my body has acclimated itself to early am workouts...
