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?

A lot of the best, most knowing coaches, aren't the ones coaching finalist or multiple champions.
They are the ones laying the foundation for young(er) swimmers to develop into champions/finalist/record holders. They are the ones at age group practices. They are the ones instilling a love of the sport, proper form, how to be responsible.
Besides if Reese and Marsh didn't think Terry's ideas were valid, they wouldn't keep allowing him to design practices when he visits their programs.
