Which is better, swimming more frequently with shorter duration, or less frequently with longer duration? For example,
(a) 7 days a week, each time 30 min, versus
(b) 3-4 times a week, each time 1 hour?
Here are the factors to consider:
1. Optimize fitness and health (not for competitive/hard core swimmer--I know that would require much more work!),
2. Minimize the chlorine effect on body.
Comments welcome!
as far as "Optimize fitness and health " I found that swimming 3 times a week with atleast one days rest has been best for me.
I am on my way to the "competitive/hard core swimmer", but currently i just want to get back into shape.
In may case my body gets more from a 3x90 minute works outs than it does from 5x40 (lunch time work outs)
