I recently quit swimming a few months ago. I swim almost everyday on my own because I have decided i will swim at college next year. I am starting to lose motivation, how do i keep my motivation?

You know, I always try and leave the pool wanting more. I almost always want to keep going but I do have to leave at a specific time. I used to get frustrated by this but now I see that it's helping my motivation.
Try not to think of swimming as an all or nothing proposition. That's why I quit and didn't come back for 20 years. I felt like I either had to be in a formal training and competition situation or not doing it at all. It's okay to cut back a little and modify things to keep your motivation going.
I hope you find what works for you. Good luck! :cheerleader:
