Swimming

Depends on what you want to do exactly.
>I get bored
So you want to have fun while swimming? If so, try to mix up, experiment and play around in the water. What I like to do is to swim around under water, do flips, spin, play around as if being different kinds of sea creatures, practice holding my breath, stand on my hands etc. Water as an element is pretty much limitless in its potential and I bet you can find it fun if you stop giving a fuck and just let go and be a kid again.
>don't feel like it's doing anything to raise my swimming level
Look up different swimming styles and techniques and try to incorporate that into your own swimming style. If you feel you're not improving then do stuff that will improve your swimming, quite simply.
I felt the same way before talking to an experienced swimmer who told me about arm/hand-form while crawl-swimming and after trying out her suggestion and developing on it my swimming improved. Then I looked up some video guides, incorporated that into my swimming and lo and behold, It improved my style. I won't write out these techniques here since you can easily find them if you look it up.
I'll give you one exercise/style that I've been developing though which I discovered myself (it probably has been discovered and named though).
Punchcrawl-swimming:
- when you raise your arm above the water surface, clench your hand into a fist and punch the water hard, then open your hand (fingers togheter off) and draw a regular stroke while the other hand is raised above the surface and repeat. Pretty much think of it like punching yourself forward. It makes swimming a bit more fun and adrenaline-stimulating (it's kinda like a water-punching bag and good for releasing frustration).

You gotta give it time and effort, but most of all, let loose and use your childlike instincts to make your own fun.

Op don't do any of this in the lap pool or a good swimmer will wrestle you to the bottom in the deep end and shark the fuck outta you.
