Peace and meditation is what it mostly does for me.
If you are interested do yourself a favor and check out the book "Total Immersion" by Terry Laughlin.
I wish had started to read it earlier - a total game changer for me, none of the "no-pain-no-gain" bullshit. I swear I've been
having almost instant results, passing by most "better trained" swimmers with blissful ease, it really is unfair ;) Essentially it's about hacking swimming by seriously getting into the physics of the sport.
Highly recommended!
