How not to get bored swimming lap after lap without stop?

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??

    During one thirty minute swim recently completed, as I touched the wall at the end, I knew exactly how I felt concerning the priviatization of social security, as I had worked thru it the last 20 minutes of my swim. I have a hard time concentrating on stroke technique etc the entire time...I think I am just relaxed and therfore just zoning out.:bliss: That is exactly what I do too, solve most of the world's problems. I am shocked that no one has asked me for advice. Another thing one can do is check splits. Especially if you are doing a 3000 straight. Which I actually doubt very many people on this board do. I mean what is the point of doing that?
