I have been putting in my time at the beach as usual, averaging about 4.5 miles per day.
I am getting to the pool twice a week. I'm my last two trips to the pool I managed to get the lane that is 4 1/2 feet deep. That makes it about collarbone deep on me which means that I can stand up any time. What I have now switched to doing is spending my hour doing laps but opting not to touch the bottom. It is giving me more confidence and I hope soon to be able to feel okay about going in lanes where it is over my head. (Hey, I'm out of the kiddy area!)
Still skeered of that but trying.
