Elaine, I sent you a PM. Thank you so much, Karlene! Your knowledge and insight will prove to be a huge help, I'm sure. From one OA sufferer to another: :bighug:

I'm trying a new, preventative idea in my practices. When I'm doing a mostly distance freestyle workout I use my snorkel in place of normal breathing.. I can bi-lateral breath but I prefer left-sided breathing and when you think about 3.5-4K of all 1 sided breathing and being in my late 50's I just know it can't be good for the neck. I'm hoping if I do this a couple times per week the benefits will add up and hopefully stave off any neck issues that could be headed my way.
