After 30 years, I got back into the pool 3 months ago, and just swam in my first meet last weekend. I'm curious about how many yards a day, and how many days a week other males in my age group who are swimming to compete swim. Thanks up front for your input!

I'm sure that 10% figure is great advice, but I find it impossible to follow. With the conflicts of workout focus (distance or taper), work travel, illness, family vacations, and family responsibilities, I find it impossible to maintain a consistent training schedule. 10% of what?
I have been keeping careful track since last October, and my weekly yardage varies between 3,000 yards and 33,000 yards, week to week.
I know this is not ideal, but does anyone else have this problem?
