There was some confusion over the previous poll "What is your favorite stroke?", as the word "favorite" can be interpreted many different ways. For example, someone may think it's his/her favorite because it's most graceful and likes to watch this stroke the most, but he/she may not necessarily swim this stroke.
So this is the new poll.
Please only select the stroke you PERSONALLY train and spend most time swimming (and thinking about).

I am quite certain that Phelps trains at least 8-10 thousand yards per day, probably more, divided into two sessions.
In the training video I have of him and his coach, it doens't talk about the total yards. It only talked about ways to to conserve energy, which is to do short distance sets at high speed.
I would imagine people like him trains 6 hours a day. If he was doing this type of long warmup and long distance sets, his yardage would be close to 20 thousand.
