Thanks Perow 1 and Girlofwater!

I sometimes have a swim buddy but he's doing his own swimming training most of the time alongside with me, so not sure how aware he is of me all the time. Hence I always swim within comfortable limits of not more than 50m. I'll listen to my body and when I have to come up short of 50m, i do.

Yeah, it does get a bit boring just doing 50m. I want to add some variation to my training to keep it interesting. So your ideas help.

Perow1, when I write max, i mean trying to make a turn and go beyond 50m.

Thanks for highlighting a very important point (besides having a buddy) ie. listening to your body. I'm just beginning to find a pace that's most relaxed and how to get my body to relax every part while swimmign. It feels almost like being half-asleep but doing an automatic movement. It's quite hypnotic. Not sure if that's the way it's suppose to feel?
