Anyone else doing this? I am for the obvious reason and am doing well but getting worn out swimming nearly a mile a session.

Not Masters, but I am being coached and training for triathlon. Not the same but still a real workout.

We're averaging over one mile a night; around 1800-2000 meters of freestyle. Got a really good coach that swims with us.

Swimming been my main sport my whole life. I typically swim 2 miles in the morning before school and every other day 3 mil ontop of that in the evenings. I wish I had time to swim more. A mile isn't bad when your starting out. The biggest thing that gets you is breathing and poor form as you can easily over work yourself with poor breathing and form. Are you doing multiple strokes? Swimming 1 mile outright? Try to break it up at first and work legs and then arms in 250 meter increments. Work on water confidence under the water so you can hold more air for longer.
If your struggling with air in enduro swimming its going to kill form and make a mile seem really hard. Need to keep pace with your lungs and swim sprints for distance. Not saying that's your problem but that's what I see most of the time.
One of my kids is in a local swim club (over 800 swimmers!)
I calculated the other day that they swam roughly 7,000 yards (~4 miles) in a recent practice session. ~2:15
+/- depending on what stroke they're working on... They swim 6 days a week (5 required).
Watching a club swimmer eat is fun, just don't let your fingers get too close to the buzz saw.

Nice! I'm still in the "crawl" stage and basically doing a Couch-to-Iron Man training. I'd like to do my first IM before my 50th in 18 months so i had to start somewhere.Originally Posted by LittleLebowski

Are either of you using the TI technique? That's what my coach has got me working on to save my legs for the rest of the tri.
Of yeah, and my breathing still sucks! Only been at it for two weeks, 3-5 days a week, but i can't get past 275 yards without getting gassed. I have a hard time relaxing and then tend to rush it a bit which gets me off my breathing rythym. :banghead:

I'm not new to this swimming thing
Our workout is a structured workout with sprints and whatnot.

I'm not doing TI technique. Are you doing rhythmic or bilateral breathing?
