Q: There are several free swimming apps that you can download onto your phone and use to help you keep track of your swim workouts, track your progress, and develop new workouts. This is a great way to stay motivated, improve your swimming skills, and build endurance. Some apps you might want to try include: MySwimPro MySwimFit GoSwim Swim4Gold SwimIO A waterproof fitness tracker is a great option if you want to know the stats on your workouts, such as how far you swam and how many calories you burned while swimming. You can purchase a waterproof fitness tracker and wear it into the pool during your workouts. You can get a watch or ring-style fitness tracker to wear during your swims. Make sure that the fitness tracker you get is actually waterproof! If it’s not, it will get ruined in the water. Finding a group of swimmers to belong to can help to keep you motivated. They might do regular challenges, fundraising events, or group swims that you can participate in. It might also be helpful to meet other people who are using swimming for fitness and weight loss. You might be able to find a swim club at your local community pool, at the gym, or by checking on Meetup.com.
A: Download a swimming app to keep you motivated. Use a waterproof fitness tracker to record your workouts. Join a swim club or team in your area to meet other swimmers.

Q: Showering helps, too. A little bit of cool H2O on the face is an energizing treat people have been using for a quite a while. This is water therapy at its finest and most efficient. If you stay in your pajamas, sweats, or birthday suit all day long, you may trick your brain into thinking it has an excuse to be lazy. If you get dressed in "normal" attire, however, you're telling yourself that there are things to do, people to see, and happiness to be found. We all know how comforting those sweats can be. But when it's time to get out of bed and be active, they're not as energy-producing as you might have hoped. People who have problems that are vexing them keep them inside for all sorts of reasons: they don't want to bother other people, they're afraid of how other people may judge them, or they simply feel they don't have the time to vent. Not being able to find a good emotional release for problems can be taxing to your energy.  Have a talk with one of your close friends. Confide in someone you can trust. Lay your feelings bare. Trust that the person you're confiding in has your best interest at heart and wants to help, if not hear you out. Getting rid of your anxiety in this way may help to lower stress and keep you energized longer. Write down your feelings in a journal every day. If you don't have someone you feel you can confide it, a journal is a perfect substitute. Write down your feelings, your hopes, your aspirations. Simply putting them on paper can feel oddly relaxing and transforming. Whether it's Beethoven or Black Sabbath, music can give you an emotional boost. One recent study found that people who listened to music while running ran faster than those who didn't. Try burning a CD of your favorite tracks and listening to it when you need a pick-me-up. Exercise is about as close to a panacea as humans have gotten. Exercise improves health, mood, and your ability to sleep as well as feel energized. If you don't exercise regularly, try fitting a little bit of exercise into your daily routine. Walking for 30 minutes a day can be a huge boon to your health and energy levels. Make time for office exercise. Whether it's sitting on an exercise ball instead of an office chair, doing stretches in front of your computer, or carving out time to walk during your lunch break, being at the office is no longer an excuse not to exercise. Being generous and altruistic can boost mood, life satisfaction, and energy levels. Find a way to give back to less fortunate people in your community for an instant mood and energy boost.
A: Splash some cold water on your face. Dress for success. Ease negative feelings by expressing them. Listen to music. Don't forget to exercise. Think of ways, big and small, to give back.

Q: Make sure your group members feel appreciated and valued.   Let them know that you respect what they contribute to the group dynamic and that you wouldn't be where you are as a group without them. Everyone needs to feel like they are an important part of the group. Make sure everyone is kept informed of plans, gigs, and all events. Don't leave anyone in the group out of the loop. Avoid gossip. Don't spread rumors about other members of your group. It's easy to get caught up in the business aspects of making and practicing music together.   Make sure that you make time to do some fun things together as a group. Since you spend so much time together, it's important that you work on your friendship as much as you work on your vocals. Take some time to go to a party together or spend a day at an amusement park. Whatever you do, just make sure you're having fun with your group members. Participating in a sport or charity event can be a fun team building experience. Nothing will make a group feel more grounded in the same mission than performing well together.   To get to this level, you must practice. The more you practice, the less likely it is that one or more of you will make mistakes during performances. Practice until every group member has the routine/songs memorized and can perform them flawlessly each time. Group meetings are a great way to make sure everyone is on the same page and that all of the group members are happy with they way things are going with your group.  Making sure that every member feels like their opinion matters is important for keeping a group together, and a group meeting is a great platform to make that happen. Talk about upcoming gigs and events to make sure everyone knows their obligations. Use these meetings to divide up the work between group members. This can be anything from buying supplies, to coordinating with a venue, to advertising etc. Make sure that if there are any problems in the group, they are discussed when everyone is there. If there are conflicts in the group, remain calm and treat everyone with respect.
A:
Boost morale. Do activities together. Hold regular rehearsals. Hold group meetings.
