I am trying to use the techniques here. But, I am still in my swim lessons at the pool. And, he is really pushing us hard to swim the full length. I just can't seem to get my breathing timed right. I don’t feel afraid any more and using the breathing techniques. I just can't get the breathing or rhythm correct. My stamina seems really bad and I get so tired. Part of this maybe with the breathing. I stay after classes and work on the techniques here. Just not seeing or feeling improvement. I am trying to stay encouraged but finding that really difficult at times. At the end of the day, I am exhausted and feel really ready to throw the towel in. But, oh well tomorrow is another day. Hanging by a thread but still trying to push on!
