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.

We practiced in high school from 2 to 5:30. I recall swimming around 4 to 5,000 yards. Only in the Winter season. Now I am in a group with different abilities and physical fitness levels. We swim about 2,000 meters per day, on three days a week. The other days, I swim on my own, either a straight 1,000 or if I have the time, I'll swim about 4,000 meters doing sets of 100 freestyle. Eventually I'll do some fly sets. With my master's group I do what the coach tells us to do, including drills, which I hate. It all comes down to the hour limit of the class due to everyone working and having other activities. We swim in the early evening. billy fanstone (in Brazil)
