Competitive swimmers spend a lot of time in that 2-3 hours doing stroke work, kicking sets, etc., etc, which all take a lot more time than just swimming straight. 9K is probably about right for a 3 hour workout. 12K would only be on a really distance-intensive day.

Then again, I was a sprinter, so I always did less yardage than the distance guys. Maybe they were doing 12K, I don't know.

And you're a tri-guy, so yeah, you swim a lot of distance straight.

eta: are you talking meters or yards? I'm talking meters.

Most of my experience is from Masters workouts. typical workout (depending on day of the week-I avoided IM day and time of year) would be 15 minute open warm up; hour workout: a drill set; main set; sprint set; 200-500 cooldown. My lane usually did 3800-4500 depending on if the length of the intervals in main sets. Per hour that's about 3000-3600. For Masters people I was very very average.

I was a runner.


eta: yes metres
