I swam competitively in High School and College. The distance I used to swim turned me off from swimming for many yrs. 10-15k a day.
After 15 yrs ive decided to try it again. My best masters experience were workouts that averaged 2500. I felt 40 min of hard swimming was manageable with my other daily duties and did not scare me away.
A good warm up. 600 yards.
A kick or stroke set. 600 yards.
Then a core set -1000 yards. 10x 100, 5 x 200 im etc.
Warm down.
Can this cut it 3-5 days a week to get in primo shape?
I swim one week 3 days and at least get in 2,200.. another week I swim 4 days. Two of the days each week I usually practice 3,000 or more. I practice ever stroke each time and swim a 200 fly 200 back 100 *** and a couple of 500 free and 2 sets of drills Can I add a question to this thread? Taper practice or no Taper Practice? I can not taper practice. When I don't swim for more than 3 days the first day back I am really tired and can't swim. I try so hard but just can't do it. So this last meet ( I have only been in two) I swam my regular and I think I did good. Also at my last swim meet I swam a 200 fly as warm up. When I get done swimming my 200 fly every day I am always faster and stronger in my other strokes. I truly think warming up with this at swim meets helps me:)
