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! ;)

wow-did this topic come up at a great time for me! I got a nasty case of bronchitis last month, which stirred up my asthma and kept me from exercising for some time. Getting back into it has been really difficult!
However, after reading all these posts over the weekend, I got my butt up this morning and was in the pool at 5:30, and it was just great. I smelled like chlorine all day. I have to remember how great I felt this morning when the alarm goes off tomorrow..
