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??
In doing some distance training last summer, I did the long *boring* sets with lots of other swimmers on a team. I was actually never bored.
I concur 100%. I get bored swimming by myself even if I make up a complicated set. But swimming with a team is not boring.
Anyway, the only time I swim 3K or more without stopping is in an OW race, in which I have plenty to think about as I cover the distance.
