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.

    Originally posted by Gail Roper One of the reasons they were able to do this is because they did the stroke with 2 kicks in front, not one in front and one at the end of the stroke. Changing the timing of my kicks in fly as described above helped me enormously to be able to swim the 100 and 200 fly without falling apart.
