It is soo hard for me to concentrate during lap swim at my pool. Anyone else have this issue? Today i did my regular saturday morning swim. As I am traveling to the pool, I decide I am going to count how many laps I did today. I start counting as I go and then find myself trying to count my breaths for each length, or figure out a new drill to try, or why the heck is this person in front of me as slow as molasses in my lane? THEN, I rest when i hit the wall, and check out the other lanes..I get all competitive with strangers in the other lanes and it just ends embarassingly for myself. haha. On the way home, im mad that i didnt keep track of my laps n stuff. I dont time myslef as of yet because of my unorganized workouts thus far. I am going to join a masters team very very soon, hopefully that will remedy some of my issue. :shakeshead:

I loose count after 4 laps- LOL, and forget what we're swimming.
My mind goes all over the place when I swim. from counting laps to what I'm fixing for dinner.
I even asked Coach to write what we're doing on the board. He laughs at me say
okay, maybe you'll do it. I think it's funny. But having it written down does help alot, even if I loose count, sometimes it's not just me, it's who I'm following. It's funny if the lane "leader" looses count we all fall short, because we are just following the leader.
I do tend to pay more attention when I"m the leader.
Now if I can just remember the time intervals I'll be doing good.
