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)?

Greg Thank you for the reponse. I just want to say , the sechulde you do now will make life a lot better down the road, or as you get up in age. You see I am an avid excerise person. I have been in some kind of traing or excerising. since age 15 which included gymanastics boxing weightlifting body building some diving etc. I guess got the picture. But as far as swimming goes, I never competive swimming untill approx 5 years ago age at that time 64. But I must tell you As a younger person I did alot of ocean swimming very little pool swimming. But although I did not compete , I could swimfor miles and I lterally mean miles. But the whole point to this story is .
