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.

Frist, feel free to PM me if you want the truth about my times from 2.5 years ago. I've been happily discussing them with Paul Smith for tips privately, and am trying to put them to good use.
Second, I have never competed in the 1000 free in my entire life, NEVER so I have no times to post for that.
Third, I was never an age grouper, never. I swam summer league from age 7 to 14. That's six weeks a year of swimming for 1 hour a day, no weekends. I took up swimmng seriously at age 30, two weeks after I had my appendix out and was crawling down the stairs to my garage to have a cigarette and realized maybe a change of life habits would be beneficial.
Lastly, I don't feel the need to handicap my results with various excuses such as, oh, late bloomer, poor pitiful immigrant story, V02Max,etc. Every USMS swimmer has a compelling story. Unfortunately, yours is the only one we are constantly subjected to.
Ahh, but geekson, talk to gull again about the window for best aerobic development.
As for you not competing in the 1000, it doesn't matter, competing or training, you cannot break 12:30 in the 1000.
