This week has been somewhat hectic with work and travel. Normally, I swim 5-6 days a week for an 1-1/2 to 2 hours. This week, I have only been able to manage about 30 minutes to 45 minutes at a time. A few days, my body just hasn't been able to get up and go.
So, this I decided to use my limited time to swim with good form and let this week become a recovery week. Keeping my feel for the water, letting my body recover and just enjoy what little time I get in the water.
Do any of you do recovery days/weeks? Do you see anything wrong with doing a week like mine? Esp. since outside influences have changed my normal routine.
Any input/advice is most welcomed! Thanks in advance.

Mike,
Thanks for reply and information. The reason I ask the question was because in high school and college, our "recovery" periods were usually taper time. Once and awhile, we would have recover days. Those days were 5-6 thousand yards, instead of 10 thousand..lol
Granted, I haven't been out of college too long but knowing that I am older now, I have wondered if having a built in recovery week would be good for me.
After reading your thoughts, I think it would be good to add in a scheduled recovery period for the future.
Thanks Mike!!
