No, I am not the type of person who wants to run into an icey sea for any reason.
However, I continue to miss swimming in a warmer pool of water. BigFoot has also been crying out for a bit more exercise.
About BigFoot:
For any newcomers to my blog, please know that BigFoot is the nickname for a problematical left foot that swells off and on. There were nine different diagnoses. The latest concensus is a combination of arthritis and a damaged nerve.
Submersion in water seems to help the swelling. But mostly there is the proud reaction I get from simply sinking into the water and hanging on a noodle. If I kick my feet I feel like I’m exercising!
I suppose you can tell I have begun to visit our community indoor pool – our local Aquatics Center. What a joy!
I have been there one time and ready for the second visit this week!
It is a dome covered pool. It is also the largest pool I have ever seen except on t.v. for the summer Olympics. There are eight very long lanes and at the time I went, I had two of them all to myself.
I think those open two lanes are reserved for un-serious lap swimmers, who simply dog paddle on a noodle from end to end.
Wait a minute! Isn’t EXERCISE really a subjective term?
In my case it means BigFoot is engaged in gentle kicking.
On Day One I even abandoned the noodle for short periods of real swinning. Now that is EXERCISE – right?
Like I said, “subjective.”
Now please stay tuned for more excitement after my Day Two visit this week.
