Hey guys it's been a long time, my last log in was back in october 2008. been swimming a lot since then and now I come back with another question...
I've been doing 3000 meters everytime I swim, 1000 meters per set and i do each set for 30 mins. I am now 31 yrs. old and I was just wondering if I lessen my time per set, would that mean that I am swimming at race pace at my own pace? 'coz basically 1000 meters for 30 mins. for me is just a regular/relaxed pace.
how fast or slow is 1000 meters per 30 mins. based on your experience?

100m on 3 minutes is a pretty easy pace. If you are consistently swimming 1000m and it takes 30 minutes each time and you are not improving, they you are not pushing yourself at all, or you need to work with someone on your technique.
Nothing wrong with swimming a 100m on 3 minutes, but swimming regularly, you should not have plateaued yet, unless there are other reasons holding you back.
nothing really wrong i wasn't just forcing myself to swim faster since i was thinking of doing 3000 m per swim, but now that you've mentioned it i guess i have to push myself to improve.
