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.

The same here. A year ago when I was only working out about 2 or sometimes 3 times a day at abour 1,000 to 1,500 yards, I was not able to do fly more than 60 yards. Now working out about 2,400 to 3,100, 3 to 4 times a week,. I did 3 100's of straight butterfly in a workout of 27x 100 yard swims. Jean, I think you are doing great, you workout more yardage than me and are about 20 plus years than me, I don't know how you can do it. Its hard enought for me sometimes and I'm in my 40's moving toward 50.
