When friendships change as water practices become more goal-oriented

My best friend and I used to have these deep conversations during our weekly pool sessions, but ever since she got really into swimming for fitness she just wants to do laps and doesn't want to 'waste time' floating and talking anymore. I miss our old rhythm but feel selfish asking her to slow down her workout for my need to connect.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

One person's growth in discipline can feel like abandonment to someone who valued the relationship's original form.
