There you are, standing by the edge of the pool and thinking, “Now how many laps do I need to swim?” That feeling of dread overcomes you and for a moment you think about turning around! But like the true athlete you are, you jump in and start the process. Here’s a few things we’ve heard that keep you in the pool for the full swim!
Train with a partner. Not only will this keep boredom away but it will also make you stay in the pool the required distance and not complaining about your goggles and getting out of the pool halfway through your swim.
Join a Master Swim Program. This is a great way to perfect your stroke and learn new tips and techniques about swimming. It will also bring out that competitive streak in you as you watch the other members of the program get faster or swim better than you! Plus this will bring you into the world of swimming and help you make new friends at the pool.
Think about swimming equipment. Buoys, fins and tubes are great ways to work the upper body while kickboards keep the legs in motion and give you plenty of time to talk with your swimming partner as they keep your head above water. A great way to break up the monotony of the water.
Remember that swimming is like any other sport, swimming laps is just like running laps at the track-it’s all in how you set your mind before you jump in the pool! Fleet Feet Sports has all the swimming equipment you need to keep those workouts from becoming boring. Stop by for a swim workout overhaul! How do you survive a boring swim?
