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?

:dedhorse:
I thought this during every (all 3) 400IMs I've ever done, both 200 flys, and now even 200 frees ...
So you are all nuts and amazing.
The ONE time I swam a mile I just zoned, sang, thought about the rest of my events, what I wanted for dinner, solved some of the worlds problems, etc.
When I ran a lot I thought of all sorts of things, I did choreography in my head (I did gymnastics for a long time and would choreograph beam & floor routines), basically anything other than swimming ... during my MRI last year I tried to go through every season of Friends and think of the first and last episode of the season, I'd think about what I wanted to but at the grocery store, Nordstrom, Target ...
Just relax and let your mind wander ... don't think about anything ...
Oh, and Morgan, sprinting is better! :agree:
