Swimming...

I just wanted you all to know that swimming is mad fucking hard...I went 15 laps today and thought I was going to drown right there...I guess this is just another form of torture:icon_lol:

Yes, swimming is hard if you don't do it often. It will get easier though.

Since sweating is not a viable option, I love to swim... Too bad, all I have are mountains to run up and down on.

Try doing pyramids - this always helped me get through swimming workouts.

2-4-6-8-10-8-6-4-2 lengths or a variation of this scheme.

Sprint (or go as hard as you can) for the last length of each step.

Good thing about this technique is that it seems easier when you are on the home stretch. I found the hardest thing about swimming was looking at a black line as you went back and forth. All alone with nothing but your own thoughts. Can be monotonous.

This seems to break things up more.
