Energy systems

Can someone please explain in simplified terms what EN1, EN2 and EN3 actually mean? Experienced thoughts on how often each system should be trained? For someone who swims mid-long distance freestyle, which energy systems take dominance, if any? (clearly I'm lost!) Thanks :)

    I guess the question is, what is your perceived level of exertion during your workouts? You can rate it on a scale of 1-20, and use this instead of heart rate (I have a hard time doing this) to distinguish between En-1, En-2, and En-3. Are you taking any medication (like a beta blocker) that might blunt your heart rate response?
