Many of us start packed with a lot of enthusiasm but end distracted on the way. We don’t feel as passionate towards achieving our set targets. We have to push and drag ourselves to work further, and no longer enjoy it the way we used to.
Have you ever experienced a similar situation? Any suggestions to overcome this?

Let me start by letting you know that I have only been with Masters Swimming for a very short time so my view point may not really apply but...
For me, Masters Swimming with a club is providing the motivation that was starting to drift from my fitness program. I get challenged by the coach to do things that I never would have done on my own. That guy in the next lane over that always beats my by 1/2 body length.... Im even going to a meet in July - even though I had decided that I didnt need to be competitive. I think the people in the club are key. Part of my motivation to get out of bed and hit the pool is the people that I swim with.
My ultimate motivation is that without regular exercise I'll die before I should. Swimming is the only "sport" that I enjoy.
