Swimming is a moving meditation for me. So I try to focus on breathing and which lap I'm on. This way, I can quiet the monkey mind. I'm always surprised when my time is up.0

try setting up a "swim workout" that way you're not just going back and forth doing regular laps.
I use www.swimplan.com...it will explain the excercises to you, gives you drills, and sprints. You can set up the plan for any swim level, and specify what type of swim (ie, freestyle, butterfly) if you need to.
I also always go with a friend so that we can push eachother and chat between each set .0 -
Check your area for a Masters swim program. They have coaches that put you through various lap swimming workouts, and contrary to the name, you don't have to be a Master at swimming.

This was going to be my suggestion.
Or do different workouts like sprints and drills instead of a steady pace workout.0 -
