I think you're trying to do a little too much. You'll find that quality beats quantity when it comes to training. Obviously there is a perfect balance, but I think you've overdone it.
I recommend that the majority of your training is relatively easy. As of last week this was my exact training plan
M: Upper Body Strength, LSD Run (9), Int Swim T: Lower Body Strength, 3 mile run, Push-ups and Pull-ups W: 5 mile run, LSD Swim, Endurance Circuit, Push-ups, Pull-ups, Dips R: 2x4 mile runs F: 5 mile run, Swim Sprints, AMRAP Sa: 2x4 mile run, Strength Circuit Su: 1 mile run, Easy Form work in the pool
Notice the majority of my intensity is low. I suggest you decrease your intensity, 1-2 short intense workouts for a focus is enough. Also you're missing the recovery time you need. Your upper body is super loaded M-R I suggest you make wednesday and easy day and put something on saturday for your upperbody. Also I suggest keeping it to a maximum of one intense workout per day, sometimes you can get away with 2 but I don't believe this to be ideal.
Also how intense do you want your calisthenics and strength workouts to be?
Do more yoga if you can. I wish I had and stretch on Sunday as well. I wouldn't do a swim and bike CHI on the same day.
Another thing to think about is that you can maintain low intensities forever with proper nutrition and sleep, but high intensity will require a day or 2 off from more training to see the benefits for it.
I know I posted a lot so if you have more specific questions just email me at jag5543@psu.edu. Remember I'm no expert I've just learned a lot along the way. I'm more than happy to help, but keep that in mind.
I know I critiqued it a lot, but it's not bad it's just lacking in efficient recovery which is the hardest part of any training plan in my opinion.
