The mere thought of swimming in winter scares James. It’s really difficult to swim in winter as the water will be colder than ever. Thus, James started to look for factors that can really motivate him to swim in winter. James’s quest helped him to discover some motivational tips; they are enumerated here below for your benefit.
Begin Today
Don’t put your swimming for tomorrow. There is an old wisdom saying – ‘Don’t postpone any of your work for tomorrow when it can be done today, because when tomorrow approaches, there’s always another tomorrow’. Henceforth, if you want to start swimming, just begin it today.
Make a Timetable
Choose 2 or 3 days (or more if you desire) from the week and make these days your swimming days and just follow it strictly. This will enable you to know on what days you are supposed to swim and so you won’t schedule anything else in that time. In case, you don’t have a fixed timetable, you will never be able to swim, as some kind of work will pop up frequently.
Swim in the Day Time
Don’t schedule you’re swimming for the evenings, if possible always try to accommodate swimming during the day. Evenings will be much tougher to swim as the outside temperature will dip, and it will also bring down the temperature of your swimming pool water.
Due to the work schedule, if you are unable to schedule swimming during the daytime, you can accommodate swimming on the weekends and do it during the daytime.
Swim with a Friend
It would be just great to have a friend to give you company for the swimming activity. As both of you will put pressure on each other to adhere to your timetable, there is a lesser probability that you will miss your swimming session. Also, you will discover that one of you may be having a terrible day and the other a good day, so the one having a good day can highly motivate the other person who didn’t have a great day. So having a friend for swimming makes a great difference.
Don’t Waste Time Once You Reach Your Swimming Pool
Once you reach your swimming pool, quickly get ready by wearing your swimwear and jump right in the pool without a single thought. The first splash is the nastiest, but from the first stroke itself, you will begin warming up and it will be all right.
Swim with all Your Strength
The quickest method to heat up is to swim with all your might and force and get that heart rate pumping. If you swim with all your strength and power, you can still sweat in the water keeping your body pleasant and warm. Using the freestyle method, swim for a minimum of a couple of 100 meters so that you can warm up nicely.
Reward Yourself with a Hot Drink
After the swimming session is completed, reward yourself with some hot drink like tea, coffee or hot chocolate, whatever you like the most. This will surely motivate you to come to your next swimming session.
Install a Solar Pool Heating System
You can install a solar pool heating system in your swimming pool, which will allow you to swim easily all through the winter. Solar pool heating system is an efficient way to maintain the temperature level of your swimming pool water. You will be eagerly looking forward to your next swimming session when you have a swimming pool heater installed. What’s more – you can use your swimming pool all year round.
