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:

One thing I've done when swimming straight laps is to vary my breathing pattern by 100s: 100 breathe bilateral, 100 breathe strong side, 100 breathe weak side, repeat. Chunking it that way seems to help.
Btw, kudos to whomever suggested this to me as a way of learning to breathe bilaterally. It worked! :wine:
