Good Morning
It has been suggested to me to incorporate a T-30 swim into my overall workout plans. Has anyone used this swim as a basis for setting up their workouts? What has been your experience? Any thoughts welcome.

The problem is that there is not a lot of information regarding the training of Masters athletes.
Yes, wish there was more. In terms of using T-30s to develop endurance and the physiological changes brought about by different types of training I *believe* that it would all be the same. That there is no difference in terms of mitochondria development etc between a 20 year old swimmer and a 40 year old masters swimmer. It's what I believe, but have no solid evidence to back it up.
I could be proven wrong tomorrow, and would be glad to know someone is doing that work.
As for the practical ends of it, the fact that masters swim a lot less than typical age group swimmers being studied, or that we will pretty well do what we damm well please, that is an area that remains very much unexplored.
