In another thread, the Fortress mentioned that her former coach thought that 25,000 yards or meters was a so-called "tipping point" for real aerobic conditioning/fitness in swimming. What does everyone think? It seems like a lot of yardage that is probably not necessarily for a pure sprinter. But what if you're a distance or OW geek or swimming the 400 IM or 200 fly? Is 25,000 the magic number? It seems like many forumites must be hitting that number because I have read about quite a few 5,000+ workouts. So, what is the "tipping point?"

Hi swim4me!
We have exactly the same situation it seems. Three practices a week.
Do you do weight lifting as well?
How far do you go each practice?
Can you give examples of different series you typically do?
How do you differentiate the weeks/months before a coming event?
All info would be of interest
Cheers
