I practice usually 4 days a week. That seems to give me a nice period for recovery.

I wish I was more consistent. Two days swimming a week are pretty standard; more is gravy...
The rest of my life conflicts with swimming. I play soccer; coach soccer (minor workout); coach x-country running in the fall (good aerobic base work out), and coach track and field in the spring (no work out for me). And I teach senior high school English...I mark and mark and mark... Then I play taxi driver to my two teenagers, who play hockey, soccer, volleyball, track, baseball, piano, violin, and guitar.....
No, I'm not trying to blow my own horn. Most parents I know have similar busy schedules; if teachers and parents didn't coach/assist school and community sports, who would?
I know my time will come (when my kids have flown the coop) to swim 4 - 6 days per week. When that time comes, I'll enjoy it; until then, I try to keep fit and enjoy each day.
But I do wish I could swim more...
