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 get seasonally depressed here in Michigan but the pool helps me combat it. I actually swim more frequently in winter as there isn't anything else to do. Sometimes the thought of the cold water isn't appealing, but my pool has a hot tub and I always go in that first and that helps me get there.
