I was at work yesterday and got asked an unusual question: How do I stay motivated to swim hours a day, every day, year after year?
I told the person that I would get back to them while I mulled over the answer. I thought back to this forum and suspect that most of the folks here compete and the competition motivates them. Me, I don’t compete, in fact, I only know how to swim one stroke, at one speed, never stopping. I guess that I just like to swim and be alone for a couple of hours every day with my own thoughts. While that works for me, I doubt it will prove useful for many others. So, how about the rest of you: What motivates you to keep swimming?

I learned at 44/45, so it's certainly do-able. Strange as it may seem, I really enjoy fly. Having lots of different strokes to work on keeps it interesting and is a better overall workout.

I only know how to do one stroke. I'm thinking that now both you and Spudfin have motivated me. Perhaps it will be my summer project next year!
Thanks,
