I'm been swimming since I was 19. I've competed in local, regional, and national masters meets since 1989. This past season I've noticed that I've really lost my desire to swim. Part of this may have been caused by not being able to afford the trip to Nationals this year in Hawaii. And last year I experienced much of these same feelings and my performance at Nationals (Santa Clara) was horrendous. Any suggestions on how I can get excited again?

Well, swimming is less boring for me than when I was younger. At 20 years old, I had enough of it. And did it a couple times working doing laps during a 2 month course at the local Jr college in 1979 and again a one month course in 1983. Rarely swimming again until the summer of 1999 at a health club and doing very low yardage from 500 yards to 5,000 yards until May of this year. I became more interested because I still had my form in breastroke and most of my speed. I also notice that this is the off season fewer people are posting.
