Good luck, it’s a lot of lengths! I did swim44 the last couple of times that it ran, but can’t get enough slots at the pool to try it this year with the restricted bookings.

For 22 miles I’d just do a mile 2-3 times a week. I’d try and do more than the minimum needed each week so that if you’re not feeling it some weeks or life gets in the way you can have a break without worrying about being behind.

For 44 miles I swam about 5 times a week, but not during certain female times of the month, so had to get ahead in the weeks I did swim. I don’t think I’d try 44 again! I only swim breaststroke and am quite slow so it was a big enough commitment to do 22!
