as a competitive swimmer i swim about 160 laps mon-thurs
if you feel tired afterwards you probably got a good workout.
as you keep swimming try to build up your endurance and try to do more. swimming really does help!

i did 100...but in my backyard pool...it prolly evened out to about 50...but i used to be a competitive swimmer so that may have added to the fact i could do that many without really getting in a good workout ya kno
