According to the recent poll it seems more people swim in the morning than other time of the day. Without considering the factors of distance from home to pools and work schedule, etc., would you still swim the time you do now? I can think of some pros and cons of morning/evening/midday swims:
Morning swim:
Pros: Great start of the day! Good feeling carried throughout the day. :) Water is cleaner, too.
Cons: May get sleepy or tired by late afternoon. :(
Evening swim:
Pros: No time pressure. Calm and relaxing after a long day of work. No need to take another shower at home.:)
Cons: May be too exhausted to get up early the next day. :( End of day water not as clean as morning.
Midday swim:
Pros: Take a good change of mind and a good break!
Cons: Time consuming. May have to go back to work looking like a bedraggled bird if your hair doesn't dry in time ;)
Anything to add?
I am on masters swim team we do evenings 6-8pm 5 days per week. It works for me perfect. although i am considering adding few morning 1 hour each swims at my local health club-it may be too much-i'm still on the fence.
i guess it is personal preference. I find morings to be harder because time pressure and all day ahead.
