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 agree! I just got my SwimP3 player for Valentine's Day from my husband. Now I listen to music as I swim, and I don't want to get out of the pool. Last night I swam for over an hour hardly stopping and could have kept going. One more song... one more song....
I've been swimming for almost 20 years in the same old pool, and I usually do the classic sets and workouts, timed intervals, etc. I swam for 4 years with the high school and age groupers (while in my 40's). Last year I trained for a distance open water race and loved it, although the time spent doing the distance in the pool could get grueling. Not really boring, but the counting and spelling words and phrases out to keep count of laps got old. I have not tried counting laps since getting the player, so don't even know how many yards I did last night. But I felt like I was dancing the whole time, even flying.
