1. How to Complete Your First Swim Training Program
Do you love swimming, but hate training?
People can only succeed at things they enjoy. It’s a fact of human
psychology which a lot of us do not know. Our very own
subconscious minds’ sole purpose is to keep us away from pain,
and towards pleasure. This natural human instinct is something
we simply cannot get away from. In simpler terms, we can’t
succeed in swimming and complete our first swim training
program without enjoying it. Otherwise, you’ll have to find a way
to enjoy it.
So if you are not enjoying your swim training program, it is better
to ask yourself why. Make all the necessary changes to get
yourself back in the zone to improve your swimming technique. If
you want to have a successful swimming program, get happy!
Boredom and disinterest, time and time again, has proven to lead
to failure. They simply affect every major part of a swimmer’s life.
Your emotional balance, motivation, perseverance, relationships
with coaches and other swimmers, and all the aspects of your
training will greatly suffer.
A lack of variety in training and being time-consumed with other
commitments, like work, school, family and social life, bring forth
dissatisfaction. These are things which can arise in our day-to-day
lives. Fortunately, they are also things which can be taken care of.
There simply isn’t a problem which can’t be addressed fully or
improved in some way. All you have to do is to look for the right
answers. For instance, swimmers who succeed immensely take

2. full responsibility for their own happiness. They don’t rely on
everyone else to adapt to them before they can enjoy themselves.
Winners always rise above the occasion and set their minds
straight. Don’t let anything or anyone get in your way. Enjoy even
if you don’t have the right swimming training gear. Focus entirely
on swimming. Be positive and enjoy your environment. This is not
to say that the reasons for your disinterest are not valid concerns.
In order to succeed, fix them quickly before you find your
motivation beginning to become affected. This is what everyone
should do when faced with a dilemma during training.
Are your laps slower than you’ve anticipated? If you ever begin to
feel that you’re losing your motivation, ask yourself why. Slow lap
times are not something you should be worrying about. You are
training to improve, right? If it is your busy schedule, take a break
and write out a fresh one, and see if you can set aside a little
more relaxation. Swimming is too fun not to enjoy, and once
again, if you really wish to become a better swimmer, your
enjoyment is a vital component. It’s that plain and simple.
Put your own interests at the very top of your priority list. Before
you can make any serious attempt at achieving any goal, your
motivation level should be at its highest. This applies not just to
swimming, but life in general. You can do it!
