Swimming stops being monotonous with people
Swimming alone is looking at a black line for forty minutes. It's the sport with the least distraction of any of these, which is why it's the one most abandoned in January. Sharing a lane and a set changes the whole length of the session.
How a pool session gets organised
- The timetable outranks everything
- The pool opens when it opens and the lanes fill when they fill. A swim session is organised around the pool's hours, not the other way round.
- Sets go better two by two
- Someone leaving five seconds ahead of you is the difference between finishing the session and cutting it short. You don't need to swim the same: you just need not to swim alone.
