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:

Island - count by the hour, exactly what I did. Do you also count strokes by the minute. My trainer would hold up signs eg 54 strokes, 60 strokes, 75 strokes.
If I dropped he would point up in the air which meant pick up the pace. If I was stroking too fast he gave me an up and down palm horizontal to the water motion. It became that over time I could tell how many strokes I was doing.
