What makes you (or makes you want) to stop your swim workout, aside from being tired or feeling hurt?
- Sharing Lanes: Sometimes when I go to share a lane with someone, I'll get in, they'll do another lap, and get out. I feel guilty. I have on a couple occasions gotten out when people want to split lanes with me, especially if they're annoying and touch me/swim into me.
- Team Practices: I don't know why, but if I'm not part of the team practice that's in the pool, I don't want to be there. Maybe I just feel lazy next to them.
- Thinking about food: Food (particularly donuts for some reason) makes me feel sick while swimming. I've thrown up in my mouth on several occasions due to thinking about food while swimming. I love food, I love thinking about food, but not while swimming.
- Little kid swim lessons: The last time i swam next to this I got smacked in the face with an oar to an inflatable boat.
- The creepy middle aged guy that hangs out at the end of my lane to stretch when there are 7 open lanes. Wearing briefs, giant goggles, and covered in hair. Doing odd exercises like thrusting the ground or stretching hs hip flexors widely on the diving blocks. :bolt:
- Broken pace clocks
For me, just being alone. My brain goes through the process of "well no one else is training, so you don't need to because they're not doing anything that makes them faster" However, once every billion years when I'm alone I train hard to get ahead XD
A jolt of sharp chronic pain in the shoulder joint.

Both of these. I swim with a team unless my husband is out of town for work. Then I'm on my own, later in the day. When I swim later I find myself wishing it were over and thinking a lot about going to the bathroom. And the shoulder pain doesn't help, with the team or alone.
I swim with age groupers and some days we have our own "masters" lane. This week we added 2 new people to the lane. I'm 41, one is 18 and the other is 22 and so far it's totally thrown off my practice. We run in to each other, run over each other, etc. The original 3 of us work together well. Right now the lane is in chaos and I don't like it. Makes me want to swim on my own. :afraid:
