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 swim about 2,000 yards a practice, four times a week, so about 8,000 yards a week with the team. I also swim on my own, about 1,000-1,500 yards once a week. So, I probably swim about 9,000-9,500 yards a week, but that can vary depending on what we're doing in practice. The other two days I go to the gym and lift. Lately, I haven't been able to swim on my own because the gym has been trying to convert the pool to a salt water system, and it's been closed for almost a month now.
