I swim 7 workouts per week but 2 are on Tuesday. Stroke days Tues/Thurs each workout is between 3500/4000. Mon/Wed is 4000/4500. Then Fri/Sat we do long course 4000/4500. The workouts are usually less than these amounts but I tend to get in about 5-10 min early and stay a little late some times. I have even been know to swim a few relays with the GCAT kids team.
With my taper coming up toward the end of this month I will cut back a bit on the yardage but not too much. Since I cut out the biking I need to make sure I don't gain any of the weight I recently lost back. Since October it has been about 15 lbs.
