When you can't get in the pool

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? :(

    Laineybug ... swim in the am for an hour and then, weather-permitting, do a second hour later. What the heck? You'll at least get that morning hour in. I've also found that when one pool is closed there are usually other options. Check into all your area pools. Maybe there's a local university that will let you in for $5. I find that I spend about $50 a year on impromtu non-membership swims in places when I'm feeling like I really want to get into a pool. Maybe there's a Y ... despite Shakey's analyses (all too often correct) sometimes you can get a good swim in. And sometimes a mediocre swim is better than none at all. Good Luck!
