10 songs today. After 1st song, every odd song (3-5-7-9) I did bilateral breathing. Tough in this small pool with all the waves. Did the 42 minutes straight! Felt great. Water today upper 70's, ~77F.

Event: SCAR Swim 2015
 

Water 71F today. Very nice. Tried the ear plugs. Worked great for a bit, then some water got into the ears so I removed them.

30 min is about 9 songs.

Pool felt better. Water temp 66F. Used straps, but added rash guard (sun intense) and swim cap AND Finis Neptune, so started out just swimming a song then stopping quickly to adjust Neptune. Arms felt very heavy at first. Thought it might be cold, but I realized it was me constantly swimming hard. The bands make it feel like I'm swimming against the current, so I slowed down and got in a good pace. Last 10 min or so straight. Arms cold at first, then warmed up. Inner ears very cold.

Will have to work back up to an hour plus. Should come in a few weeks. Tomorrow I will wear the ear plugs. See if that helps with the cold.

My pool is open, water is clean and beautiful, but quite cold. 63F today. Tried out the straps, they work well wound around the fence. Plenty of swimming space so my feet get nowhere near hitting the wall.

Could only handle 5 minutes today. So cold my head immediately felt like it had an instant headache. Will wear swim cap next time. Must charge my mp3 player.
