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.

    67King - Thanks. That's some great yardage for the UDKs. I'm still learning this method of kicking and that seems like a great approach. I'll try to work in more of these types of drill sets and intervals. Sumorunner - that's an interesting change - switching to lake with lots of swimmers. I walk a lot too walking a dog and I'm starting to bike a bit more. Summer is great for exercise.
