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 average 2500 per workout and usually range from 2000 - 3500. Just do what time allows and try to pick up your swims/week when preparing for a focus meet. Glad you're back in the pool. P.S. I remember a day in my youth when we did 50 x 400. Never again!
