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?

.... Just because you swim hard you don't forget to use sound technique.
Absolutely. Very important point that I neglected to mention. I ceasefire, so to speak, when I feel out of sync. No point in practicing bad form. That's another reason I prefer shorter sessions.
