Veteran  293   Somewhere training in Rocklin, CA |  Subject: RE: How much and often do you swim in a week?M/W/F each week as the other days are too crowded, 2000 - 2500 each. I was swimming 5x/week but my shoulders started to revolt and my times/distances were not improving. The current 3x schedule swimming ladders seems to be highly effective. |

Veteran 285 Tampa | Subject: RE: How much and often do you swim in a week? I typically swim three times a week: Monday, Wednesday and Saturday. In the Winter, on Monday and Wednesday I go between 2600 and 3200 (when I do stroke it's closer to 2600, when I do distance pace I do 3000 or more). The rest of the year, I go between 3300 and 3800, since I train with my team instead of by myself. On Saturdays I train with my team all year, so it's usually 3300-3800 meters. |

Master 3888  Overland Park, KS | Subject: RE: How much and often do you swim in a week? I swim 2x per week with a masters group. Distance is 3000 yards plus or minus a few hundred. Ocassionally I'll do a weekend swim as well, of the same distance. All this of course, after I shower |

| Deep in the Heart of Texas | Subject: RE: How much and often do you swim in a week? M-W-F masters class over lunch. I only have time for 1 hour swimming so I modify the workout down. Generally between 2600-2800 depending on the focus of the workout. |

| Member 92 | Subject: RE: How much and often do you swim in a week? One of my goals this year is to improve my swim, I had been in the pool 3 days increasing to 5 days a week between 3-4000 yds. a day. Ive been at it a bout 4 weeks and noticing I am able to hold good form much longer and faster times with less fatigue. Edited by The Trooper 2012-02-10 10:26 AM |

Master 2770 Los Angeles, CA | Subject: RE: How much and often do you swim in a week? lisac957 - 2012-02-08 2:36 PM None right now But when doing specific race training, even in IM training, it's 2 days a week. I'm with Lisa here. But I do have a plan that schedules 3xswims/week. If an adjustment needs to be made, I'll drop the shorter swims to compensate before I drop a bike/run workout. |
