  • 2010: 1 between 2004 and 2009: 0 Since I began masters swimming in 1998: about 10 total, no more than 3 per year. For those who do more than 6/year, how do you train through the different training cycles, taper, meet, recover? I usually do 2-6 timed swims/month as part of workout, 99% of those off the blocks and racing other people on the team. This is what I do for normal meets. I'll also add that I typically do not swim the day after a meet. Tapering is more of a fine art. And by that I mean a crapshoot. :bitching:
