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?

Gull if I did not practice perfect (although it may not be perfect form) with every stroke I take the pretty young things would not even look my way.
It is the only way I can swim that is why when I swim butterfly it is only 25 meters, I do not want to feel uncoordinated. This is also the reason I never swim over 250m free without a rest after every 250. My volume is always done in sets of 25s, 50s, 75s, 100s, 200s or 250s,
