Attitude:
They had toddler swimming lessons at the pool today.  How can I not smile?  I'm glad I didn't decide to quit the earplugs yet because a few of them were really wailing.  I felt much sleeker in the water today.  It seems my times prove that it wasn't just a feeling.  I tested out 4 stroke breathing for one of my 600 yard swims.  I wasn't as out of breath as I expected, but it took some effort towards the end.  Next time I will try swapping the 3 and 4 stroke 600 yard swims to see if 4 stroke is actually slower or if I was just tired because I'd already done one set.  My head hurt while swimming today, but I think it is a result of working outside all day and dehydration.
