So, what is it like to be an athlete with no competition, no proper training, and no sign of a silver lining in these darkest days?&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Athletes have invested hundreds of days working hard, breaking a sweat, preparing for their competitions that were supposedly a few months away. But none of them knew that they would be facing a different kind of battle, something they\u2019re not even prepared for.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This pandemic is taking a serious toll on the athletes, leaving them with so many questions in mind like \u201cHow to stay motivated when there\u2019s a widespread uncertainty going on?\u201d and \u201cHow to keep training when there is no certain competition ahead?\u201d.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some athletes are working on new, inventive ways to stay fit at home. They prepare for when tournaments resume in the future. However, if you are a swimmer, then it must be hard for you to train. When pools and gyms are shut down. But just because you don\u2019t have a pool in the basement to dive in. it does not mean you can\u2019t keep your training sessions at home.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are a few alternative exercises on how to maintain your swim fitness and improve your endurance even without a decent pool.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-instagram wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/B-UyJBVH2M5\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"12\" style=\" background:#FFF;
