For those of you who race in meets, and tri's:
Do you swim all year, or do you take an off season--say one to 3 months--where there is no swimming at all?

Maybe at 33 I am still young enough, but from Nationals in May till Labor Day I mentally need a break from this sport- so the only swimming I do this time of the year is on an inner tube. Plus it gives me a goal every September to work myself back into shape. - It usually takes till January but it does give me a focus until the bigger short course yards meets begin in the spring. I always come back in September much more enthused to swim than I would be if I swam all year long.
