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 was the bad luck swimmer could beat them all at a given time but always had an accident at the international events. Broken ankle the day of the 110 yards at 1958 Commonwealth Games, out of the hospital the day of the heats at the 1956 Olympics after a 4 day flu attack. Fell asleep in the sun at Mexico city 1955 Pan Am games, blood streaming down my back from sunburn the day I came second to Clark Scholes in the 100.
