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.
I stopped pool workouts about 4 weeks ago and shifted over to open water. I joined a triathlon club so I could swim with them. Instead of 5-6 lap swimmers to keep me company, I now have upwards of 100 around me in the lake. I'm unable to run due to arthritis but I walk a few miles 2-3 times a week and bike another 2-3 days. Mixing up workouts like that keeps it fresh.
