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??

Wow, didn't know one can do so much while swimming laps! It's giving me great motivation to train for long distance so that when I become good at it (a far future), like many of you, I will perhaps be able to think of research problems while swimming. It sounds like for someone who can swim long distance at ease, swimming is just like walking: you can think about all sorts of things and problems.
Would be nice if some Nobel prize winner got his ideas while swimming :D
I'm sure open water swimming is not boring. In fact even swimming in a 1km pool will not be boring to me since I'll always be swimming forward to where I have not been. What is boring to me is to turn back and swim the same 25m over and over again... :shakeshead: I can also lose count...
