Help! I'm trying to aquire the motivation to swim daily...well six days a week, one day of rest. I need to lose around 50 pounds by winter, but I still can't get myself in the pool. I don't know why. I guess a few reasons could be: (1) Social anxiety (2) People seeing how fat I am (3) Failing Can someone help me gain motivation to get into the pool so I can improve my life? Thanks! Best, Chris

    Heh, funny you mention ACL tears...I just had ACL reconstruction surgery in April. I think I am going to go real basic for the first few weeks: Warm Up: 50 yards freestyle 50 % speed 100 yards breaststroke 70 % speed Routine: 3x 50 yards freestyle 100 % speed 150 yards breastroke 100 % speed Warm down: 50 yards breasktroke 50 % speed Does this make sense? Best, Chris
