Here's the deal.
I can only swim 50 min to one hour a day, which equates to at most 2000 yards for endurance work and 1500 yards for faster interval work with more rest.
I feel guilty when I read about other peoples yardage. Is anyone putting up some fast freestyle times with this little yardage? If so, what are the times? I really want to know.

2000 yards a workout is enough to be able to pop a good time for a 50 yard event. My former coach swims this much per day and he's ranked in the top ten for his age group. If you want to be able to perform well in a 200...a little more volume may be necessary.
Not to say that being a good 200 swimmer isn't possible with small yardage totals...but it's not the ideal formula.
