[quote=Anonymous]I've been running 20 years like you.  Did a triathlon last year for the first time, dreaded the swimming training almost more than the boring biking.  I didn't think I would get back in the pool on a regular basis but started swimming regularly again about 4 months after the tri.  I swim on my own, don't really get endorphins but have found I surprisingly enjoy it.  The improvement and progression in my skills has been really satisfying.  When I trained, I could only effectively breathe on one side and only did freestyle.  I decided to become a bilateral breather and decided develop an effective butterfly.  Long story short, like running, I've set goals and been challenging myself to do something harder.  And since my butterfly stills needs a lot of work many months later, I keep working on my form and stroke and really enjoy it.  The satisfaction of the full body workout and the upper body strength is a plus, I wasn't doing any regular strength (or ab) work and I definitely notice a difference now.[/quote]
