I am a 50+ (actually 60+) female, and I thought it might be interesting for some older folks to post some workouts. This is one I did today.
400 easy
8 X 50 IM order - 15 seconds rest. Odds are building, and evens are 25 max plus 25 easy.
5 X 300 - (100 IM + 100 free + 100 stroke - 15 seconds rest between each 100), 30 seconds rest between each 300. Descend times for each 300.
250 cool down
total: 2,550 yards.
Descending the times for the 300 yard sets made this workout challenging and interesting.

Hi Tz,
A few years ago Swim Magazine had an article about butterfly. The article suggested a way to improve fly which was very simple. Instead of doing a full 25 or 50 fly, just do as much fly as you can do well. They suggested doing 25s and that you do just two strokes of good butterfly followed by easy freestyle. When you reach a point where you can do two strokes of quality fly, you then go to three strokes of quality fly followed by easy freestyle. Eventually you can swim a whole 25 butterfly with good form. This seemed almost too simple to be true, but I gave it a try, and it worked beautifully - my fly really improved.
Keep up the good work!
