I hope you are remembering to try and breath while you are swimming. Remember swimming is an aerobic exercise, you wouldn't try to run while holding your breath. Swim Smooth.                              

Well, actually... I do sometimes hold my breath when I run :-)) It's bad, I know. I struggle to get into a rhythm so I just hold it. But I do breathe while swimming, unless I'm doing a drill where I have to swim as far as I can in one breath. Which is only one length of the pool anyway :)
Den, do you breathe on every stroke? I was getting a sore neck from turning my head so much. I wondered whether I should be holding my breath a bit longer and breathing every third or fourth stroke.
Could you use a snorkle Amy? Then you wouldn't have to turn your head.

I would like something that counts the laps for you. :)
I child-proofed my house, but they still get in!

Time to get the window washer CP. Just had mine done on Wednesday.
Lovely fellow, not quite as easy on the eye as Helene's window washers though.

I bought a swimming lap counter from Catch of the Day. It seems to work ok once you figure out how to read instructions. English translated from Chinese, I think they may have had auto correct on when they were writing them.  :D

Hopefully today I can get out in the garden to mow, weed, trim and clean up. Bit early yet to know what the weather is going to be like. Hopefully that wind will stay away.
