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:

it has been said that all swimmers have ADD.
i mean, crap, those of us who aren't training on top of 20,000ft ocean trenches (Go Donna! :drink:) have only a black line to stare at for 60/75/90+ minutes during workout. with our faces in the water, its only that line and our imagination to entertain us.
I was quoted in a local paper, when asked "What do you think about over 4.4 miles?," to have thought about fellow forumite SwimmieAvsFan and playing hockey during this year's 4.4 mile bay swim.
If I were you, I wouldn't get too concerned until you bang into the wall headfirst while lost in a thought. :frustrated:
I have swimming ADD (must constantly swim with different people in different environments or I get bored), but swimming cures any of my slight OCD tendencies out of the pool. Interesting. Go figure. All the boring back and forth over the black line is an OCDers dream! :rofl:
