I think this goes a lot to what Paul Smith said on another thread somewhere.. as we get older our body needs more recovery time.....maybe she found the best routine for her to use and still be able to compete at the highest level.
For those doubters out there......have you ever tried training and only swimming 3 days a week? Doing strength and conditioning stuff the other days? I say unless you have tried it how do you know that it's "somewhat unhealthy" or "neither sufficient or impressive"? Just my :2cents: of course.
I have found personally that only swimming 3 days a week and doing physical therapy exercises a couple of days "seems" to be working pretty good for my arm problems. So I am contemplating using this formula for a while instead of pounding out the yards like I was trying to do last year.......
