First I tracked laps when I swam. That got boring so I tracked time instead. I would try to resist the urge, but I would occasionally pop my head up to see the clock and know how much time I had left.

It was a good decision that has only increased my enjoyment of swimming and hasn’t resulted in a drop in my fitness.
