If I didn&#39;t have to work I would probably be down the pool ALL the time. You just have to fit it in when you can - the days you cant go, go twice another!<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/8474?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 15 Sep 2003 05:05:06 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:fb753d64-4b97-41b7-81fa-bc8a1bc67152WaterRatTime- it all comes down to priorities. For me it’s limiting the amount of TV I watch and the amount of sleep I get. Also, I have a schedule of swimming times that I try to commit to each week and I look for alternative times if conflicts develop rather than writing off that work out i.e. working out over lunch instead of a scheduled night. Energy - eat right and be sure to refuel within 30 minutes to 1hour of working out.<div style="clear:both;"></div>
