Moved to Florida from the northeast. Swimming laps at the community pool gets me through the hot summer. Never bored.

I find it meditative. I don't get bored swimming.

I swim 1, 500 free and have been doing so every time I swim since 2010 and I don't get bored. There are many things to be practiced in such a long distance, like your flip turns, varying your kicks, experimenting with straight pulling or S pulling, or even bilateral breathing (every 3, 5 or 7 strokes). Or race the guy in the next lane. He could be doing a 100 sprint, but race him anyway, and see if you can still last the 1, 500m.

These days, after the 1, 500, I'll do a 5x200IM set. Then maybe warm down for another 500 with any stroke I want. If I were more capable I'd like to try a 400IM after the 1, 500 free, but till this day I am never able to do so.

I Never get bored. I sometimes clock watch because time goes by fast I don't get to finish all my drills so I have to cut off a few meters. That is a bummer to me.

I'm living in KSA and I compete for a club, but we don't use equipments and the pool size it not that big. Also, we can't really travel because the club says it's expensive.

I just find it relaxing same as sleeping or on a massage bed

Interesting video. The topic caught my eye, because I can see how swimming can become boring, to some if you have the opportunity and time to practice it continually. And I agree with your philosophy to mix it up. But you lost me with a 10 min. video, and when I scrolled to the end, and you were mentioning "mixing up your scenery, by traveling the world", for a different experience....LOL. Sure, I guess if your Donald Trump, and can afford it, dollar wise, and time wise. Thanx for posting.
