How to Stick with Masters Swimming - Addressing Monotony

Hello Fellow Swimmers, About two months ago I joined my local Masters swim team. I found it challenging and rewarding. However, recently I have been finding it difficult to attend sessions because of the tediousness and repetition involved. My yardage increased dramatically in the first 4 to 6 weeks of practice. I went from swimming less that 500 yards about twice a week for a couple of months to swimming just over 3600 yards per practice. I'd be interested in hearing any advice on how to stick with swimming for the long term. Thank you in advance for any help/suggestions.

    Thank you Jim. It's very helpful to read your thoughts on the subject. My goals aren't set yet so I can see the benefit of participating in race events and getting a few into place. I do find the fitness aspect pretty amazing so I think if I focus on this too it can help me stick with the program. I just added Vinyasa yoga to my routine so hopefully this will aid in my swimming.
