Hi,
We are planning an article on the "winter blues" for the Nov. / Dec. issue of SWIMMER. I've got some ideas for a way to take a fresh look at the subject, but I'd love to hear from our member swimmers who may have issues with the low light and cold temperatures of winter.
Does it affect your training? Have you found a way to beat it? (Florida and So.Cal folks, I realize this is less than applicable to you, but friends in Nebraska and New York and Alaska, or any other state with seasons, please weigh in!)
Thanks for your time and insights. Please feel free to message me privately.
Sincerely,
Laura
I live in Oregon.Almost all the research on SAD comes from OR and WA.I don't seem to be bothered as much as many,but when it has been sometime since I saw the sun my mood and energy lag.Swimming definitely helps(exercise is the best natural antidepressant) but going some place sunny for a week helps too.
