Question

IS it bad to swim 2x a day for training?

Answer 1

no i swim two 2hour practices a day and i always swim a lot faster in the summer(i swim all year around)

Answer 2

Absolutely not, provided that the training is well regimented and supervised.  The real danger isn't the quantity of training but the structure.  A properly planned and executed season can include more volume and intensity with less risk than a poorly planned program.  If you have questions you should talk to your coach.  If you don't have a coach you should join a team.

Answer 3

If you want to get better I would suggest more days and for longer amounts of time, but it is a start.  I, personally would start out with like two days a week, then in a month three days a week, etc.  If you want to get better fats, do more days for more time a day.  Works just like that.

Answer 4

No they're not bad at all. Two a days are a great way to get you in shape just do what coach says
