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 Paul. As he knows, I work through issues in the pool, sometimes as i swim it's like my day or whatever is a reel of still photos. as i swim they move until eventually they move away and it's all about how you're moving in the water.
if in the pool, i may focus on one thing every 50 yards, or 100. since i come from the TI school i'll focus on slipping my hand in the water, rotating to see how weightless my recovery is. before you know it, it's zen and there is no thought but the movement of the swim! :)
