How far do you swim each week?

Just curious how many yards or meters USMS folks do per week. I swim independently (i.e. not on a team) for about 45 mins before work, 4 or 5 days per week. Depending on what type of workout I do, and how lazy I feel, I do 1,500 - 2,000 yards per day. Lately, more than half of my workout is breastroke. So, my range is anywhere from 6,000 - 10,000 yards per week. That is for the two months leading up to a meet. If I am more than 2 months from a swim meet, I swim once or twice per week, and lift weights twice a week. I am 41, and swam the 100 yd *** in 1:08, and 50 yd *** in 31 at my last meet. My 100 yd free time is somewhere in the mid-high 50's, but I haven't swam it in over a year. I would love to hear what other folks are doing for yardage, and what times you are getting out of 'em.

I'm at 4500 per day right now swimming for about 1.5 - 2.0 hours per day. I sometimes go over/under depending on the day/workout.
