Laziness is my enemy

Until september I was very consistent with my swimming trainings and I got a lot of benifits from it. Now I'm struggling to go to the swimming pool once in a week and I feel I'm not as trained as before in the water. Nothing block me but my laziness. I'm very dissatisfied with my behavior and I would like to come out of this situation. Could you give me some suggestion or advice?

P.S. Sorry, I know it's not easy to ask for a question like that.

I do have problem as well - I was lacking in motivation as I train alone but I keep thinking others trains which made me to toughing it out to complete training sessions - its so hard indeed

Davide...
It seems to me that you are training alone and that makes things much tougher. It is much more difficult to go to the pool alone than it is when training with someone else and or a team. Find yourself some partner because it will make things much easier.

Only read first post, but I find that the underlying problem to not wanting to go to swim workout is that IT IS NOT A PROBLEM. It simply means you DO NOT WANT to swim.

If you are having doubts about your decision to NOT SWIM perhaps you should figure out what it is that makes you want to swim so badly. Perhaps the reason you want to swim DOES NOT INVOLVE you going to workout multiple days per week.

If you to have a passionate reason to go to the pool, (for instance to beat some other really fast swimmer that you have a grudge against, lol) perhaps you are too mentally/physically fatigued or stressed. You may need a break or something to change your everyday routine.

Sorry for my late reply!

@sprinter: I Agree with you. It's kind of a vicious cycle, both in positive and negative terms - ie. the less you swim the less you will want to swim :-) - and the unpleasing feeling I get starting swimming again after one or, even worse, two weeks of break is discouraging. Anyway, I'm breaking the cycle and ready to come back full motivated and stronger than ever.

@James Stuart: Yes, you made my point really well! I have to admit that I lack organisation for my training sessions. I need to be more constant and precise.

@Barbara Hummel: I always had a particular attraction for water and I like how I feel in the water. I mean, it's a gorgeous sensation. I feel emotionally relieved. This is one of the reason why I love swimming. A well organized weekly schedule. Now I know it's what I need!

@Tomàs: I wish I could but it's not so easy. Unfortunately, I don't know anyone who love swimming. I will try to make friends during practice but I think it could be really hard to speak with somebody in the water. I was thinking to develope an air bubble language, maybe it will works, who knows? - I'm just kidding :-))

@GW: Thank you for your advice! When I was 18-20 years old I practiced flat racing, but I was in a track and field team, therefore no problem for a running partner. Hope you will find you running partner soon!

@fiZZLe: I think your first assumption is somehow correct! Anyway the reason I want to swim is that I love it! I love the feeling I get into the water. I know from my previous practicing experiences that the more I swim the better. Our body has a kind of physical memory but it seems that a couple of weeks of inactivity and lazy behaviours are all it needs to diminish strenght, sensibility and muscle/joints flexibility as well as sense of space and balance. The last two components are the ones I consider the most important. I take only a couple of weeks to re-gain the same strenght and cardio-vascular capacity that I had when I was well trained. I take more time for flexibility and a lot more time for re-gain balance. Yes, you guessed it. I'm stressed but luckily a lot less than I was once I wrote the first post on this thread and my stress was totally unrelated to swimming. Now it seems I almost totally sorted out many of my previous tribulations. Life's never been a straight line but that's what make it such a beautiful experience! Your last assumption is gold! Changing everyday routine is a key point for getting more result in every field not only swimming. I will follow your last advice wholeheartedly. Thank you so much!

@Thang Nguyen: Point taken. Making clear of my goals demand self-discipline, good time management and organisation. These are the most important skills in every kind of human activity (art, business, sport and so on...) I have to work hard on that! Thank you for your suggestions!

Last but not least, I would like to thank you all for your precious time and patience. Again, I'm really sorry for my delayed reply!
