We do swim 5 days a week about 4500-5000yds/day, sprints, endurance etc. Since about last week i do not feel very tired after the sets. When i started swimming 5 weeks ago i was exausted.
Does it mean that i can add more to my workout on top of what coach had assigned? I know i can do it cause still have like 20-25 minutes left of swim time.

Depending on what your sets look like, or what you were working on for that day, I would say yes, add something to then end.
I often add 5x100 pulling to our shorter workouts. or 200 pulling followed by 9x50 des 1-3
or on days that we do a lot of pulling in the main sets I add 300-500 kick at the end.
another suggestion if you're not feeling tired after, shorted the start intervals. force yourself to swim faster in the main set.
or it could be that your ready for longer workouts.
my group has gone from barely 3500m in 90 minutes to nearly 4500m in 90min. over the past 18 months, which is nice, but when I get my own lane (twice a week) I can handle a 4500m IM work out in 90,or a 5500m free workout.
