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??
Sometimes it's good to not think.
The feel of the water, physical exertion, and being alone helps me to decompress and become a decent human being again.
Another suggestion: You need to do more than just swim laps.
Interval training (with or without at team) is not a bit boring. You can challenge yourself in more ways than I could ever list.
Stroke drills are good for breaking up long workouts too.
Try to declare what your goals for swimming are, then create some interesting ways to achieve them!
Have fun!
ps....I know alot of people who swim with music (headsets) and claim it breaks up the monotomy. They claim they are easy to use and stay in place very well.
