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)?

Anyway, I did little yardage today because I wanted to get an idea of how fast I'm at this time of the year since the last meet was in Feb. I did 10's 50's and did slow warm up on each around 200 yards and took 2.30 to 3 mintues rest before I swam them. I was a little tried but not as sore as when I swim close or exceed 3,000 yards.
