Hey gang! I'm sitting here inside, at the computer, because the late afternoon thunderstorm has closed my pool again! In the past week I've only been able to get in the pool once and the forcast is 40 to 60 percent chance of afternoon thunderstorms for the next 4 days. I had much the same senerio last week and could tell a difference when I got back in for my one workout this week. So what do you all do when something interferes with you workout and you can't get in the pool? :(

Thanks for the suggestions, yall.
I've seriously considered the early morning swim thing, but that would cut down the time I swim... I currently swim for about an hour and a half to an hour forty five minutes... I love swimming so much I just don't want to get out of the pool until I can't take another stroke! The pool doesn't open until 6 AM... I'm wondering if I could swim for an hour, shower, do my hair, make-up, dress and be at work by 8. The only way to find out is to try it, I guess. If I'm late that morning, well the powers that be will just have to live with it. LOL, they wouldn't dare say anything, I'm a silver back! (but I didn't get that way by being late)
I've also been meaning to put shorts/tees/sweats, socks/shoes in my locker so if the pool is closed I will have no excuse for not going into the gym.
Okay, here's another question. If I were to start using the other equipment at the gym (it has just about everything a person could want ... stair climbers, bikes, weight machines etc.) what would be a good routine to begin with... one that would be beneficial to my swimming. What have yall found that has helped your swimming. Oh, yeah... I also do pilates at home three times a week.
Looking forward to your suggestions
