I swam competitively in HS and was an ocean lifeguard for 7 years so quite a bit of swimming experience here. I still try to get in the pool frequently (but I go through streaks of swimming a lot and then not at all depending on my schedule). When I get in the pool, I typically shoot for about 1200-1500 yards in 30-45 minutes. Usually broken down into 200-400 yard sets. I also set my breaks between sets based on heart rate to attempt to keep my heart rate above a set value for the full workout.
Even with all my years of swimming, I still can only breathe on one side. Not ideal. Never took the time to break the habit years ago and don't care enough now to try. As a sprinter (50 yd and 100 yd freestyle) I took so few breaths in a race it never affected me enough.
Anyone who wants some good swim workouts/tips/advice, feel free to PM me.
