Hello All,
It's been awhile since I've been at the forums; about 4 months actually! AND... about that long since i've swum regularly as well!
This, for the last few years, has been my pattern. I will get into a groove and get into decent shape, then something will happen, i.e. I'll get sick, go on vacation, have a really busy week or two and not be able to go workout, holidays, etc.. and I'll lose it completely for about 2-4 months.. then it starts all over again.
Regardless, I ALWAYS find the pool calling my name after awhile until I absolutely have to get in it again, then of course remember how good it feels to be swimming..
My question is if anyone else has had similar issues with working out regularly, and what they have done, if anything, to overcome this?
Any hints or tricks to help get myself over the little hump and back into the pool quickly before I backslide would be GREATLY appreciated. (I am currently working on self discipline), and any hints on that would be great as well! ;)

I believe that without goals, you will hit the "wall" much sooner and more often. A goal to "just workout" is very vague and won't keep you in the right frame of mind to keep at it when the "going gets tough".
Get with your coach and talk with him/her about goals that are realistic and appropriate for what you're struggling with.
