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 with the zen thing. With the sensual deparvation, it's really easy to focus on very small things and just enjoy that. I often work through things one at a time. So you can do many, many yards/meters just looking or feeling how your right arm enters the water...
then the left arm,
then how few bubbles you can make,
the shape of your pull,
your roll, your wake, your body position,
that thing that's moving like a snake next to you, :)
the position of your head,
where you really would have told your boss to go yesterday,
how the water feels today.....hmmmmmmmm
