My school swim team is over, I was glad for about a week but now I miss it and cant wait untill next winter. I haven't been able to do any work outs. When I was having swim practice every night I have noticed I was in a better mood the next day. And always felt better aobut my self. Does anyone have any dry land work outs? I am in a horrible situation.....The nearest pool that I could do a workout in is 45 min away...I can't drive.....I dont Like to run...I have never been good at it and dont like it at all The gym that is in town cotsts too much to egt a membership too. I'm definatly very limited on what I can do...i also need to lose weight...I'm very self confident...or unconfident :-/ I just need..well, help i guess. if anyone has any ideas i would be thrilled to hear them .

First I'd suggest you talk with your coach. Tell him/her how much you miss swimming and ask for advice and suggestions about what you can do. Does your school have regular PE? Ask one of the teachers to work with you to develop a plan.
What's happening in your school pool now? Is there any way to organize a workout with other team members or other students who would like a regular workout? You might have to pay for a lifeguard/coach.
Are there other schools in the area where you could join a workout squad or PE class?
Does the local gym have a pool? Are you qualified to work as a lifeguard? Can you exchange volunteer work for membership fees?
What's the weather like in Ohio now? Can you bicycle? What about race-walking or a class at a community center? Basketball is a great workout, how about some 1:1 with a friend?
There is something for you -- it sounds like exercise is really important for you to feel good about yourself, physically and mentally--put your thinking cap on and give everything at least a try.
Good Luck!
