I hate swimming. Tolerate it at best. But recently a change has started to come over me. Since I started to incorporate the swim drills on the site into my workout. I've changed. I go into the pool with a goal and feel like I've achieved something at the end of my workout. Even the basic swimming on your side gives me a sense of achievement. OK. I can't do the 12x25's specified in the workout yet. I can only do 3 but when I got in the pool on Monday I couldn't do any. I'm heading to the pool for the third time this week today. I've never done that before.
Thanks Kevin.

Congrats.  You think you're thanking someone for what you're experiencing but you're inspiring others to either keep at it or get involved.  Good for you, and thanks.

I had the same result once I started incorporating drills into my swim workouts. I have a mission, I get it done and there is satisfaction in that (even if it is swimming). The more time I spend and the more drills I do, the more comfortable I get.

Thanks everbody for your comments. Todays update is I managed 6 lengths, 3 on the left side 3 on the right. The guy in the lane next to me was doing exactly the same drill. But he was wearing flippers. He was cruising. Thats all it took to convince me to order some zoomers
