How not to get bored swimming lap after lap without stop?
Former Member
Some of you swim like 3km or 10km without stop. It's good feat, but even when I swim for 200m I get bored, so I wonder how come you don't get bored immersing yourself underwater doing the same basic thing repeatedly for an hour or more? If I walk long distance I can still have views to look, but swimming in a 25m pool??

I've heard tile counting is a pretty good medicine.
For me, I'm always thinking about my technique. There's so many things to think about that I haven't gotten to a single point in any of my swimming where I realize, "Hey, I'm swimming perfectly..." There's always so many things to improve or that require diligently conscious maintenance and execution.
And if I don't want to think about technique, I do breath control. That always make things interesting- seeing how many lines I can pass before I just need to turn my head for some air.
