I have no coach, because we have no masters program. I use my own experince, this board and other web sites to find a work out. I do however have the opportunity for help with our local high school swim coach. Who is a master swimmer and a really good coach.
What does everyone do?
Do you coach yourself are you in a masters program?
And how many times a week do you swim and how far?
I'm up to 2000 yds each swim, swimming 3 times per week.

David - what do you mean? Swimming or pulling with paddles for 2000 yards a practice yields LESS impact than throwing a baseball?
I would say yes. (it is rare to see a pitcher left in the game after 100 pitches)
How many strokes in a 2000 yard swim? (even with....dare i say.......paddles)
I think xc skiing would be the one sport that most accurately represents the muscle load of swimming, and I'm not sure that there is a typical injury that is associated with this sport.
