Hi. :help:
Was just wondering how you handle practicing by yourself. My team only practices two times a week and that is obviously not enough time in the water to improve. At practice, we do anywhere between 3,200 and 3,800... and I usually do the same when I swim by myself (right now I'm getting in two solo practices, but I'd like to do more). Usually the USS team or High School is practicing at the same time and that sorta helps get me moving. But how do you guys motivate yourself to keep going - because weekly I am starting to ask myself - "why am I doing this"... when I'm trudging along solo. I do compete and love it... but I just get down and in the gutters once in a while. I usually get my workouts from the "workout forum" here on the site... but do you have any thoughts on how to get more motivated? I hope I don't sound desperate, but just need some feedback from those who are going thru the same thing.

Just so you know, its not the coaches doing, it is the aquatic director, she can be a real umm, never mind lol. I know she has complained about me practicing with the senior group at times. She wants to know if I have paid my USS team fees. If she ever confronts me on it, I will just tell her that I am making up my Friday of practice that they are false advertising in the book haha.

Whoa! I didn't know that. She should definitely not complain about you practicing with the senior group... they are absolutely false advertising in the book... plus masters have to get the complete pass - the kids currently only have to get the aquatic pass. It doesn't make sense. Maybe the whole masters team should do something about it.
