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)?

Maybe, the person with the very high yardage was Ron Karnaugh who still swims at the elite level of non-masters swimming and has a flexible enough schedule that he can do that much yardage. The other people I don't know who they are, maybe they are in college or just-past college where they have time to do the yardage.
