I consider myself lucky as I have access to the 50m pool at KGNS. I swim 3 days a week but low mileage (between 5-6000m a week). Training is for triathlons so just freestyle. I think there's a fair number of people doing swimming as part of multisport events (triathlons and aquathlons) but it's a very small proportion of the population.

For people who have left school, Masters swimming is badly promoted and there are simply not enough local competitions for normal people to participate in. Just check out the ASUM website - hardly any pool events for average folk.
