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?

I do not take a break from swimming. My fall routine is to swim, but to work on strokes and long slow sets - it's a mental break.
There are 2 reasons that I don't stay away from the pool. When I returned to training at age 33, it was extremely difficult for me to get back into swimming regular workouts again. I don't ever want to experience that again. Secondly, so much of what we do is based on a routine. If I break the routine of swimming regularly at certain times, I fear I won't return to that schedule.
At 61, I feel so healthy. I don't want to lose that good feeling.
