For those of us who love to compete, it is hard to imagine not doing so. However, there is certainly nothing at all wrong with working out hard and not competing.
I know I get much satisfaction doing a descending set well or negative splitting a 400 or predicting my time on a repeat to within a tenth of a second. These of course are mini competitions or self competitions that make a swim enjoyable and challenging for me.
Of course there is the fact that swimming hard and swimming well just feels good!
All that said, I am looking forward to my next meet.:D
