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??
And some days, it's boring.
When I'm not focusing on my technique--which is always in need of improvement--I think about the swims I am getting ready for, things I've seen on previous swims, other places I've been swimming. For example, I just spent 10 days in South Korea, swimming in a 30-meter pool at our hotel, overlooking the city of Seoul. That memory will carry me for a bit.
I also find it's the time I come up with some of my best work ideas. I own 2 retail stores and all of my window display ideas come when I'm swimming--the longer the distance the better.
