Is my volume enough?

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?

    Champion swimmers do not a coach make. Terry is helping mostly non swimmers and swimmers in general to be more compitent swimmers and I agree with most of his stuff. I have taught thousands to swim but found coaching competitive swimmers not to be financially worth it they consume too much water time.
