Not much swimming in the pool

[threemeninaboat]

I visited the warm pool today. It was kinda strange. My guide kept alluding to "your injuries." I have no idea. Maybe because I was the only person there under 50, I must be broken to need the warm pool.
That pool is waaaayyy too small for laps, not designed for laps, and I would just be splashing the very old people. Damn kids in the pool. I watched the Cardio Class for a bit, I think I'm a little too boisterous. No one actually "swam."

There's another pool very close by dedicated to lap swimming, it costs about 1/3rd as much, but it's not "warm." I'll go over tomorrow and see if it's unbearable.

I painted my art table black, I'll go do a second coat after dinner.

I was thinking of your warm pool tonight as I was at the ymca - they keep that pool at near boiling because so many olds use it. Might be worth checking out pools where there's a lot of aquasizing and/or baby swim lessons? This pool (used for same) is definitely toastier than the university or other gym pools I've used, but still a decent lap pool. And (I'm hoping) well chlorinated.

Back when we had a YMCA near by (it got leveled), it was VERY cold.

But you're right, I ought to tour nearby pools.

I completely forgot I live near my University, the one I graduated from, and they have an indoor pool.

Yeah it's weird, just the one Y pool is so warm, the others are normal temp. It's the only one that has a baby pool nearby and also closes for water aerobics/aquasize regularly, though - so it might be worth looking for those classes as harbingers of toastiness :)

Have you thought about swimming with a wet suit?

The 20th/Curtis gym keeps their pool at around 84 degrees F. Smaller than an Olympic pool, but big enough to do laps.
