I swim with Tim and Magnolia whenever I'm in the woodlands, but the rest of the workouts are written by coach Julie. There is no Master's group anywhere near me, so if I am not on the road I swim alone. The pool I swim in doesn't have lane lines, is usually between 83-85 degrees, and I usually have the pleasure of being accompanied by aqua aerobics. It's open for 75 minutes in the morning and an hour over lunch...that's it. But the water is wet and its 25 yards, so works for me. I swim around 20k per week, sometimes more sometimes less.
Really have no idea what I could swim an all out mile in. I can't even come up with a guess on that one. I did a few 5:2x 500s in the workouts the week of Texas, but they weren't an all out effort.

OK, since no one else has asked, can you tell us a bit about your swim training??? I know you swam with Tim's group at Magnolia Masters for several weeks each winter for a few yrs, but what about the other 90% of the year??? Does Tim send you workouts??? Do you swim alone or with a Masters group??? How many yd per week typically??? What do you think you could do for an all out 500, 1000, and/or 1650??? Always curious about how you top guys train. :) Thanks!!!
