I've trained and competed mostly outside since I've been doing Masters and have noticed that I lose some of my excitement when I compete indoors. I can see better and feel more "happy endorphins" when I'm racing outdoors. If you can relate or have found a way to overcome this, please let me know.
Take the frown and turn it upside down, and make some lemonade while your at it.
If you are swimming in an indoor pool that is East to West, then find an indoor pool that is North to South. Mix it up. Embrace it. Do the same thing when you are presented with the opportunity to swim in outdoor pools.
I swim in a half dozen pools, meters and yards. I swim indoors, outdoors, North to South, South to North, East to West, and West to East. I even swim in a pool that has a retractable roof.
My point is do not become an expert at swimming in one pool. Mix it up. Its to your advantage when you participate in swim competitions.
If you are truly stuck in one indoor pool. Then have some fun with it, wear a pink, or crazy colored, swim brief.
I do prefer outdoor pools over indoor pools, but I'll take what I can get, as long as I can get my swim workout in for the day.
