There has been some discussion of non stop swimming all freestyle. I guess one obvious question is why are you swimming for aerobic fitness only this is fine. If one is training for distance swimming an argument can be made for this as part of a weekly training program. I (and people smarter than me) would argue that swimmers are too much in love with interval training as it relates to distance swimming, in the track world the Kenyans do some long steady runs in fact lots of them for their steeplechase, and 5 K and 10K and marathon runners.

most of us Masters swimmers are not too concerned about season and rather seek a year long approach. Therefore I agree with you but think long swims and intervals are important all year round. There is also the psychological factor as others have mentioned sometimes you just don't have the mojo to swim hard intervals that day.
