Well I've throttled the swim workouts up nicely and guess what? The weight is really started to come off and the stamina is returning nicely. I added about 300 yards to my work out today for a total of 1000 yards. Also increased the yardage of the main sets and kick/pull sets. Not sure my body is ready to take it much further this next week but it's nice to know that I hit a "10" so to speak with my workout!
************************************************************************************
Warm Up:
6x25 Free :20 seconds rest
Kick/Pull Set:
2x75 Pull :20 seconds rest
2x75 Kick :20 seconds rest
Main Set:
4x50 IM order (Butterfly, Backstroke, Breaststroke, Freestyle) :20 Rest
2x100 Freestyle all effort on a 4 minutes base.
Cool Down:
6x25 Free: 20 seconds rest
***********************************************************************************
Right now I'm purposely not timing myself in most of the swims. The reason is that I know how slow I am and I don't want that bit of discouragement lol. I swam one of the 100 freestyles in my main set and realized that my 200 yard freestyle was actually faster at one time in my life!! So to say the least I still have a long way to go for my own personal satisfaction!

Yay you on keepin it going strong with the swims!
I think Marlon Brando is her grandfather not her father. It was her mother's mother who had the affair with him.
Anyhoo, way to go on the swimming and I'm so glad that you found something that you like!!!
Ditto on the times ... I felt the same way about my 50 -- same time as my fastest 100. So sad.
