How many yards a practice do you swim?

Former Member over 20 years ago

I tried doing a search in the forums on this and couldn't find anything. I am curious to know how many yards people in Masters are swimming a practice. I swim on average 3000-4000 yards a practice, 3 times a week.

With only one hour of lap swim time available to us at our YMCA, 2,000-3,000 is all I can get in.

Most of the time somewhere between 3000 and 5000 yards.

I picked 3,000-4,000, though some workouts don't go over 3,000. Those are usually on IM/stroke days or the sprint days.

Around 3000-3500yds 5-6x/week and 4500-5000yds 1x/week (usually Saturday). Average per workout since the first of the year = 671,500yds/230days swum = 2920 per workout. Jim

2400 2 days a week and 1500 2 days a week when I also lift weights and do stationary bike.(I do lots of stationary bike as I can't do as much whip kickas I'd like anymore without hurting my knees)
