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.

I did this today, and it felt good. I think one of the heaters in the pool is broken, so the water temperature was 78F. Happiness is a broken heater in a YMCA pool.
1. 400 easy
2. 30 X 75: 70-80% of max - R15"
- 6 X IM without Freestyle
- 6 X main stroke (breaststroke for me)
- 6 X free
- 6 X kick
- 6 X pull
ALL 75'S ARE : 50@70%+25@80%
3. 200 easy
TOT: 2850
