“FEEL-GOOD
SWIMMING”
The goal of a
“feel
good” swim is to make the sensations you get on a hard set feel
good, rather than bad. The idea of “feel good” is to
experience the sensations you get when swimming hard in a new and
non-threatening light.
When you think about
it- the only thing that makes a hard set feel bad is when you think it
“hurts”.
The sensations themselves can easily be interesting or even
pleasant. When you perceive them as unpleasant, it is because you think
they “hurt”.
You feel them.
They catch your attention. They can be intense. But they don’t have
to hurt or be experienced as painful if you label them otherwise and understand
that there is no impending or actual biological damage. These sensations
will signal biological growth through adaptation.
Experience
the discomfort as something good. Make it a “feel-good”
experience. Seek out these sensations. Make them happen. Notice
them. Then, make a point to adapt to this new “feel-good” style
in your swimming
