>inb4 dont be poorfag

>>34985616
You are good. Thank you

Can only swim in the summer ;_;

No pools and I'm not gonna swim with gators and water moccasins

>>34985632
Niggers don't swim. that's the beauty of it all

how do i make swimming less boring? I hate that the scenery doesn't change, you can't really listen to music, and its not like you can easily switch off like on a long run.

after some lengths go to the hot tub and come back

You're looking at it the wrong way. Enjoy the the boringness. Enjoy the minimalism. Concentrate one the monotony of the breathing and the color. Focus only on your stroke. Understand that breathing is a luxury.

That makes swimming engaging.

That's going to make my workout like 2x longer than I want it to be. Plus it doesn't make doing those lengths any less boring.

I like swimming, and if I can swim outdoors across a lake or something I love it, but I can't handle doing it indoors, or when I have nowhere to go

Get fins

I wish I could swim
I switched to gym because 3 years ago a swimming pool with poor ventilation caused me hyper-sensibility to chlorine vapours
Now if I go to any swimming pool I have acute rhinitis for 24 hrs, no matter what
At the seaside in summer I try to swim 3 hours everyday, swimming is so superior to gym for aesthetics, posture and mobility that I ain't even

>you can't really listen to music
I had a water-proof headset for swimming pool (beware, never use it when you swim at the seaside), it werked pretty good

>its not like you can easily switch off like on a long run.
You can if you're good at it

same, degenerates report in, show your support

Currently doing about 1200 twice a week. Trying to come back from a shoulder injury. Swam competitively for 11 years so 1200 feels like I'm under achieving. Any other swimmers deal with shoulder injuries?
Also anyone swim competitively and continue to swim recreationally past their late 20's? Just wondering If I should start to expect my pace to go down or deal with more injuries. I know its possible to swim as an older person since the pool is full of them, but I think if I had to swim at the pace they swim at I'd just rather not swim.

I wanted to take up swimming do you cunts pay for a lane?I think my pool has that never asked.What kind of routine should a beginner do?I can swim I mean is there a SS for swiming?

pay for pool membership most places. It's a little like running in that as a beginner you just need to do it and youll get better. It'll be a while before you get any extra benefit from a routine. It also depends on your goal. But as a beginner you'll have a better experience if you get some equipment. Fins, snorkel, and hand paddles will let you move through the water more easily and not get discouraged when you find yourself flailing around. Just like how you would do assisted dips and pull-ups if you couldn't even do 1.
