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?

I made the Olympics and other games on technique only from 18 years of age til 28 years of age. I could not swim more than 800 yards a day. But as every one said George why don't you train more - if I had been able to would I have been faster????
My training was more reading newtons laws and watching the great swimmers of the day and applying what I saw to my stroke.
I have stolen everthing I know or percieve to know about swimming from others. I am not an inventor of anything but may be called a modifier.
