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 think 3000-4000 yards sounds about right.
Any effort is better than none though. As you get in shape, you'll go faster and further. In the time it takes you to swim your 2000 you'll be able to 3000 or maybe 4000.
