I’d like to get feedback on how long your typical (median) swim workout is from the time you walk through the front door of the gym to the time you leave?
I swim 6-7 times a week and my average in the water workout is 1:15 but total time I’m there is around 1:30.

Out the door at 0445, in the pool at 0505, out of the pool at 0600, on the road heading to the train station at 0645.
Includes a power bar before and breakfast after.
Right now I’m in the pool for 50 minutes three times per week and usually run for 45-90 minutes on the treadmill afterward depending on the day of the week. That will change in March to 5 times per week an the morning before work and biking or running after work.

I’m in bed by 9pm nightly. Kids are all under 4 and are sleeping at 7:30pm so I get about an hour to sit my ass on the couch

Damn. Your alarm goes off in the three o’clock hour?
Only on Fridays but it’s a special squad at a beautiful 50m pool so I suck it up for that one.
I can sleep in a bit in Saturdays so if it wasn’t a Friday swim no way I could handle it…
Lazy swimmer who lives very near (2 miles) to my club.
5-6’ to get dressed / 30-60’ swim / 10-20’ hot tub, shower & dress … So I don’t even go unless I have a full hour.
The norm for me is just 2 swims (1500-3000+ yards) a week. Usually a 5:45-6:30 swim on a weekday morning & a weekend swim. Three or 4 X a week is great, but rare.
I walked out of my office go to the pool across the hallway swim go back to my office. commute time’ about 7 seconds. swim for an hour.

I’m 53, my kids are grown (and mostly gone), and my wife is in the sport also. I get home from work about 1830, run or bike depending on the day, the season, and what I’m training for, eat and go to bed about 2100 or 2130. I only swim 3 days a week, and only 2 during the week, so it isn’t a big demand on my time.
Swim 3-5 days a week. Mostly at lunch during the week with an occasional weekend swim . Most workouts in the 3000-3500 range. 8-10 minutes to pool, change, swim, shower return. Usually gone about 1 hour 45 min from office. I bring a sandwich and eat when I return to work. If schedule messes up lunch swim I will swim early @ 5:15/5:30am. I have my own business so have some flexibility but I am always at work by 7:00am.

On the average, I swim about 5000 yds in about 1.5 hrs, 4 days per week when biking and running a lot; total time in the pool complex is about 2 hrs. When not biking and running much, I swim 7 days per weeks, just under 2 hrs/day, with total time in the complex about 2.5 hrs. Last year I mainly swam and ran, so I swam 363 days out of the 365 in the yr with my avg swim time at about 1:55 and avg distance per workout about 6500 yds with lots of kicking and IM sets for variety. Ran 5 days/wk with avg run of 5 mi/day and biked an avg of zero mi/day. (I did 2 swim/run races in 2013 but no tri’s:))
Walk in the door at 5:15, out at 7. I change into my suit there, then shower afterwards. Time in water 1:15ish.
45-50 min in water. 3x/week for now. 4x/week come March.
In the pool for about 90 minutes, 1hr 15min of wet time 4-5x week now
