We can get pretty lazy when it comes to swimming. We show up to the pool, maybe after a struggle to find our stuff, get there, deal with traffic, deal with the pool schedule, deal with the other exercisers that you need to share the pool with …
And then some of us aren’t really paying attention when we swim. We don’t want to. We don’t like swimming. Swimming makes us feel slow, dumb, not good, inept.
So sometimes our mindfulness and effort aren’t in it all the way. We lose focus. We aren’t paying attention to our form. We aren’t giving it a good effort, or our best effort.
Here is a good workout to help with changing that up.
