What team do you swim for?
Where do y’all swim?
How often do you swim? How long are the workouts?
Do you compete?
For me:
Wildcat Masters Swim Team
University Kentucky (Lancaster Aquatic Center)
6 days/week
Swim could range 3500-4400. Sunday is hardest and longest workout
Will probably swim in 2 meets this year. Thinking of doing the Lakeside Mile at UL December 10.

Dallas Aquatic Masters
I swim at Baylor Tom Landry Center at lunch but I sometimes swim at SMU.The team has workouts all over DFW.
3 times a week, usually 3000m in a 1 hour lunchtime workout.
I'm not really a swimmer, more of a tri guy but I don't compete at that anymore....I'm really a runner who is too old to hammer my body and so do the easy sports of swimming and cycling now......
Its kind of cool that my head coach is a olympic gold medal winner from the 1976 olymics.

it's not a masters program exactly, but I went to my first "masters style" swim workout on Monday. I'm training with a triathlon coaching group that has swim sessions throughout the week. Been with them 3 weeks, but with Holidays, it's the first week I can attend. Usually swim on my own.
1 hour, about 2500 yds. Appears it's a lot of slower triathlete swimmers, but it still helped to push me a bit I guess.
I'm currently 1:40/100 in a 1000yd time trial and trying to get to sub 1:30 pace. I can keep low 1:30/high 1:20 pace for intervals. Was hoping this group swim would be a little more advanced and knip at my toes to keep my pace up. But I'm already paying 220 a month for coaching, so I'm not paying more for a different masters swim program right now. Hopefully I went on a bad night. it's not good when you think you might be the fastest person in the pool.
ETA: I was messing around on the website for the group I swim with and looked into the swim coach who runs the workouts. Coincidentally, he was in the 76 Olympics as well. Although for Pentathlon and not purely swimming. And he didn't medal and is from Canada, so not nearly as impressive

Every once in a while I'll see a swimming thread and for like half a second it will get me nostalgic about my swimming days, and then I immediately want to throw-up when I see the distances and times.
Idk how I did it for so long as I fuxking hate swimming nowadays lol.

It's a love hate thing that comes in waves. As I see improvements, I enjoy it. It was my worst discipline for triathlons at first. I'm by no means fast at all, but I'm starting to get a little bit on the above average side and it feels good. When I stall and see no improvements, it's like pulling teeth to go to the pool.
