I'm looking for some feedback regarding how much of the year you swim. I'm transitioning from a few months a year and trying to become a year-round swimmer. As I age, I'm finding it harder and harder to get back in shape after my non-swimming months. Do you swim year round with only a week or two off here and there? Have you endorsed swimming as a "lifestyle" and never really take a break? Or, do you swim for just a season (Short course, Long Course, Spring, Summer, etc.)? In 2005, I swam Jan. - Sept. but just couldn't stay with it Oct. - Dec. Any feedback/suggestions are greatly appreciated!
Thanks for the replies. My diversion in the fall (Oct - Dec) revolves around my other passion, deer hunting season. I guess my biggest problem is that I swim in the mornings. Hunting and fishing compete for these early am hours so at some points in the year swimming actually becomes secondary. Oh no, I said it. Maybe not secondary, maybe just not priority one (is that better)?I guess I need to find a way to stay in the water for the 2-3 days during those times. One last thought, I know sleep is over-rated but sometimes it is important, too. Has anyone figured out how to get more time out of 24 hours yet???
