Swimming with my husband out doors in the summer is as close to perfect as it can get! Our neighborhood of 200 homes has a community pool situated on a tip of land surrounded on one side by the harbor and the other by Long Island Sound. We've taken to swimming in the morning when, as you'll see, the pool is usually empty save for us. Our 20-year old got a kick out of seeing our synchronicity. We were in laps 4 and 5 of what would be our standard 54 (3/4 of a mile). The further along in our distance, the more in synch and faster we get. Self-critic's view…warming up is no excuse for sloppy leg work ;-)
