THANKS EVERYONE!! I had a very successful time in the pool yesterday. I swam 70 laps - alternating freestyle & breast stroke - w/very minimal breaks. I was breathing every stroke on freestyle, Veronica-style, but since I was using some of the TI tips that I learned in the book, it didn't feel rushed. Amazing that I didn't feel wiped out, either. I'm going to keep reading the book and when I get the DVDs, study them. I still plan to do the drills.
