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:
UNfortunately blackbeard, I have on many occasions banged my head on the wall, and oh what a lump i endured.. As a multitasker, i also banged my right foot on the lane line from an intense foot cramp on that same lap, haha.
wow, dreamer, you need to stop dreaming, or staring at the eye candy on deck/in the next lane and start concentrating more on your swim!
try counting your strokes every length. after a while, you'll realize that it takes you x strokes before you hit your turn, and you'll start preparing yourself as you approach that number. For example, in backstroke, I have 15 strokes per 25. Once I hit 10, head is back further and looking for the flags at 12/13, then its one stroke, and flip.
