I like the beaches and Pier in Oceanside, CA. I like to be out past the breakers year-round when my abilities permit.

Beach Quieting Down with Summer Coming to an End. TENS Unit Daily Now
I swam north to south this evening. There was a mild current flowing southward at the end of the pier so I chose the correct direction. Slightly choppy water, poor visibility, small waves, water temp about 67 degrees. My time was 37 minutes-no fins. The Labor Day Swim is not far away now. I feel well prepared.
My neck has taken a beating and I am wearing my TENS unit each day for pain relief. I really should not be swimming this much because it exacerbates my neck and back pain, but it helps in other respects. The TENS unit, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator, runs a low electrical charge through sticky pads that are applied to painful body areas. Mine are on my neck muscles now. I highly recommend TENS units if you have pain issues.
Parking is ample now close to the water as the summer nears its end. I like the coming of colder water and fewer persons at the beach. We'll see how long I can hold out with trunks and no wet suit. That's a mind game with me. I got some pictures today.
