After reading alot of threads, it seems my volume and frequency is way lower than everyone elses. My freestyle workouts are typically no more than 1500 to 1700 yards. If it is a repeat workout, then it is less (i.e. 10x100, 5x200, 2x500....etc) I swim three times a week.
My fly, *** and back workouts are no more than 1000 yds (still learning those strokes).
I am biased towards the sprints like 100 free and maybe someday if I'm lucky the 200 IM. Is this volume OK for a 42 year old, or should I be trying to build in more yardage?

Technique is very important for sure but technique will only get you so far. I personally regain the feel of the water very quickly.The secret is to include volume with technique.
How much volume, requires great thought. How much time do you want to apply to the activity? Do you have the desire to apply the time? The individual who is swimming can only tell the volume needed, the main thing we have to have is the right tech and I have yet to see a swimmer with perfect tech because there is always something we can change in any stroke to become a better swimmer or there would never be a record broken.
Right technique first volume second, but vulume also changes technique.
Terry how much volume have you done to attain your goal or have you reached your goal?
Do you now have perfect technique or is it a work in progress?
Will perfect technique ever be attained?
Do we need Volume to attain good technique?
