Two months have passed since my last entry of the summer.  Our fall weather in the Pacific Northwest has been absolutely gorgeous.  As the leaves turn color we start hauling out the sweaters and fleece.

But alas I am still swimming !  In fact Hubby has joined me as a result of a back injury.  Swimming was the only pain relief for him and now it's become part of our routine.  Early in the morning to jump start the day !

I plan to revisit my swimming instructor in November at the 6-month mark.  The purpose is for an evaluation and assessment of where I should go from here.  I still want someone to video me swimming so I can see how I'm doing.  Hubby says my strokes are fine but I still tend to look up when side breathing.  Gotta keep working on that head/neck position in freestyle.

I've been practicing bilateral breathing by using both sides in one lap rather than one side per lap.  Every third stroke I side breath.  It definitely keeps the stroking technique more symmetrical, especially since one arm is stronger than the other.

That's all for now.  Swimming has changed my life.  Now it's a daily routine.
