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 also recommend swimmingcommunity.com, where you can enter a profile, log your yardage/meters, and also get computer generated workouts that help on those days you can't make it to a practice, or just need someone else to decide what you are going to swim. I've been using it for a few years and I love that it's low tech., and not filled with any sponsorship ads.
