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 reckon since I’ve never produced an Olympic Champion that all of my study and practice are completely worthless. Forget that as far as swimming is concerned that I’ve practically come back from the dead. I couldn’t possibly have anything to offer. Plus I’ve never published a book or video, nor even written a workout routine. Crikey, I should probably give up on swimming altogether.... NOT!
I’ve long ago lost count of the great champions I’ve seen interviewed immediately after winning some super event who first thanked their high school coach for inspiring them to excel and eventually become what they were that day. Ya’ gotta start somewhere.
I believe anyone with positive input should be able to contribute unfettered. As for those who don’t, well, they can put their opinions where the sun don’t shine.
Oops! Guess I’m being a bit judgmental there. :”> Oh well, I’m probably going to Hell anyway, so I reckon I’ll get over it. (Thinks of the Far Side cartoon with the bloke gleefully pushing the wheelbarrow through hell and one Devil says to the other “We’re just not getting through to that guy.”)
Double Oops! Dang! More than one paragraph (again). I meant to fuse them all together. Oh well... maybe next time. :-p
