I don't know how old you are, Becky, but I think of it this way: How many women your age are even in the pool swimming laps? Be proud of your accomplishments. Look back at where you were a year ago and see how much progress you have made. I bet it's a lot.

As far as fishtailing goes, we videotaped ourselves in the pool Saturday morning and what we saw was amazing. I snake through the water in a zig-zag. Would it have anything to do with only breathing on one side? I did bilateral breathing drills this morning and really concentrated on swimming straight. Does anyone know if that makes a difference?
