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.

I try to do a lot of cross training when I am not swimming for college or a team. I still try to do 5000 yards in the pool, but build up my running endurance at the same time. Over the summer I dont get as much opportunity to swim so I run more....but honestly, this summer I swam very little yardage a day and ran quite a bit, but I definatly was not in swimming shape when I came back to school in the fall.
