It was grey and overcast this morning. It was 58° and clam with a flat ocean and 2 foot +/- surf. All typical for a late summer morning in Avila Beach. The water temperature was 60° but it felt coldish after a week of temperatures of 62° to 64°. How easily we get used to warmer water.
I have Tom Israel to thank for my loose shoulders. He has been loosening up before a swim by holding a length of rope in both hands, more than shoulder width apart, and doing paddling and windmill motions and I've picked it up. I don't push the movements. I think of different ways to move that will work my neck, shoulders and lats. It takes less than a minute. I'm using a length of an aluminum pole because with something stiff I can easily change the spacing between my hands.
I'll swim Saturday at 7 and Sunday at 11.
