I am 45 years old and swim 2 to 3 times per week. I swim for aeobic benefits and general fitness. I do not race and don't feel a need to improve my speed. I only have 30 minutes in the pool for each workout session. Does anyone have ideas on good workouts that are challenging but do not go overboard? Thanks.

Well, with your diabetes you need to watch things a little more. But I don't see any problem with you swimming 150 laps. By the way on my vacation I swam 16,590 yards in one week, since I was able to swim 6 days. This week one of the pools is close, so I probably swim around 9,000 yards. Usually I swim from a low of 7,500 to a high of about 12,000 yards. You have youth on your side many of use are middled aged or older.
