i'm convinced swimming helps my creativity,
sometimes wonderful ideas arrive while I'm swimming.
I've had several song ideas or lines arrive while I'm in the pool. Sometimes I'll get out to write them down.
Lately I just try to remember them and write them down after practice.
anyone have any comments or stories on how swimming helps or fosters your creativity?
Or is this board full of non creative drones?

Swimming long distances seems to work the same way for me.

I am soooooo with you on this one. I do the same thing. Often I'll solve all my "problems" at work in the pool.
Since I am relatively new to swimming, I still focus a lot on my stroke and technique too.
