Oh no, totally went off on a tangent. Must redeem myself. Think, quick....
Ok, "less is more" truly is - if you believe it! I agree 100% with 3, maybe 4 (1 goof off day) workouts per week. It's just no fun for me going to the pool more than that. Properly setting your goals, and taking stock of all the other factors in your life (like Midas points out) are the hardest parts. Ooops....I mean Fortress.
Define your goal - it may not be like anyone else's, so don't worry if you are doing something completely different!!
My main goal is to not swim hurt. Meaning no hurt back, no dull achy pain, and certainly no sharp stabbing pain! No interest to "feel the burn" of aerobic sets soo...I never do 'em! Compromise: Average less than 2,000 per workout all year. No stamina to do 100+'s. Start dying at the 20 yard mark but can still fake my way home in SCY or SCM.
And.....I get to pick up my daughters who are soooooo cute without back pain now.
