Me and My Fellow Old People

I have something wrong with me that makes my body hurt most of the time, it gets worse when I get cold. I have gotten MUCH better since I no longer do manual labor.
I have been thinking of ways to exercise in the winter. I'm not into gyms. Swimming sounds nice but even the indoor pools are too cold. I did some research and found a Warm Water Therapy Pool run by the Easter Seals about 6 miles South of my house. Anyone can go. They have classes and open pool times. $9 drop in, or you can get a punch card, or a membership. I'm going over tomorrow to see how it looks. I can order private lessons quite reasonably and I can polish up my strokes quickly, hopefully they'll have times for lap swimming.

A most excellent idea.

Any testings done for fibro, at all?

I love swimming. Our dream house has a full indoor/outdoor heated pool in the back.

Do you know Schmid-E's ex-wife? I believe this is the pool she swims at for fibro therapy. She could tell you more about the facilities.
