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.

Since I'm just starting to swim regularly again, I've listed two workouts, the first of which will be my first one (on Monday next week!), the second which represents the workout I will be doing after two months.
First workout
Warm up - 200
5 X 50 on 1:45
5 X 100 on 3:00
Warm down 100
Total yards: 1050
My workout after two months, three times per week:
Warm up - 800
2 X 200 (no interval, rest 2 minutes)
4 X 100 IM (no interval, rest 1 minute between them)
10 X 50 sprints on the 1:00 (ugh!!)
warm down 200
Total yards: 2000
I swim at lunch so I can't have very long workouts. I'm thinking that last workout might be pushing the 1 hour barrier.
