Hi all
Well, we have added a fourth day to when our pool is open during the week. I have been wanting to add yardage to my normal swims, from 1000 - 1250 yards (50 laps in my 25 yard pool) but am hesitating since I am, technically, adding an extra 1000 yards per week now.
Should I be concerned about this or would it be safe for me to go ahead and add my 250 extra yards on all 4 days?

I have read that it's best to increase yardage by 10% per week. Probably the best thing to keep in mind is Dr. Sheehan's (Sheehand was a running guru) admonition to always "Listen to your body". So, increase your yardage, but if your body tells you to cut back, then do so! Good luck.
