So I am new to long distance swimming, and I am quickly falling in love:smooch: but...sometimes, those really long consecutive swims bring out the ADD in me. So what are some things you guys think about when your swimming for hours consecutively?

    I swam about a 5k today with four others. We stopped twice at our designated turning points to regroup/chat. I tried to keep my focus on technique, hold a good line without excessive sighting and not let the barracudas get more of my attention than they deserve. I swam a 6k postal a few weeks ago. The second third was hard because my mind started drifting, but I was able to get it back. Yoga and meditation help me. A long swim can be a very satisfying way to experience a zen like state.
