Hubby and I went to the Y today. They had an "adult swim" for two hours this afternoon....free of screaming rugrats:)

Lotta old people and heavy people..and people recovering from injuries....floating around the 90 degree gorgeously huge, deep heated therapy pool.

We caught the last part of a water aerobics class and swam for a couple hours. Was wonderful:)

Day passes were like...ten bucks. (and they had some kinda promotion that you can bring a guest....so hubby got in free!)

Definately worth checking out what your local YMCA offers. Even if you don't want to join....a day pass is an awesome way to give it a try!

And a nice warm swim is a fun way to beat the winter blahs.

Next week my bestie wants to go roller skating. LOL..... God help me.

One word...

Cocoon (just sayin'... )

LMFAO! lololololol.....more true than you realize. When we got home, we....

Ahem.

LOL:)

Hahahahahahahaha! Run away! Run away! TMI!!!

I swear, it's the image I got as you were describing it! ROFL!!

My husband declared he would never move from our house, so I said I want an backyard pool. Score! I can't swim in public pools anymore now that I know how to test my own water. Shiver. Ha! Everyone should have a backyard pool. ETA: just figuring out that I sound like an ass....

I have one thing to say!!! RUN don't go skating!! I cracked my tailbone trying to learn to skate. Ugly Ugly!! I do believe that was the worse pain!!

I will be extra careful, Shedo. I think if my bestie and I hang onto each other and don't get run over, we'll probably do ok. Mostly, I imagine we'll laugh like nutters and dangle off the edges of things. But I will watch my butt for sure.

I actually have been skating in the past decade when my daughter was a young teen...she used to drag me to the rink. I am NOT good. I'm not confident on skates and never will be. But I can teeter around in a slow circle fairly safely:) My bestie and I were really good at it when we were kids. She used to be able to do a backflip on skates...crazy woman. (have known this woman 40 years! met the first day of first grade)

I’ve been frequenting the Y myself. Been swimming & sitting in the hot tub just posted about how nice it is to be able to breathe a full breath again at just 16 days out!

Everyone should have a backyard pool.

A basic backyard pool is $AUD12000 ... unaffordable for most people.

A three-month pass to the local indoor swimming centre is $AUD123.

No general time limits (other than closing time).

I usually stay three to five hours per visit. That's better value than pool ownership.
