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.

This is my :2cents:, take it for what its worth...
Unless you are training to do 10K open water swims, 4500-5000 per day, 5 days a week, is plenty for pool races. If you have time I would up the intensity, do sets with plenty of rest and get close to race pace.
If you don't do kick sets, add them. Do high intensity kick sets and endurance kick sets; social kick sets are worthless (except as recovery).
If you already do high intensity sets and kick sets, then possibly consider cross-training instead of more pool work. Develop a solid routine for core workouts, for example. If you don't do weights, give it a try.
Good luck.
