Swim Rant

Corporate Idiocy (another overly redundant oxymoron) My place of employment actually offers a "Fitness reimbursement". They will reimburse the employee 50% up to $250 (so 1/2 of 500) of health club fees, fitness classes, stationary exercise equipment. I bought my elliptical under this last year. I have to wait and see if they can do more than just read their policy; it specifically uses the example of aerobics classes or jazzercize-so the reps look only for those titles. Now if we can just get those folks in corporate to understand that we swim miles a day in the pool and are in better shape than any foo foo aerobics class or trendy jazzercize class taker..... 3degree, I just read a good article by Todd Bryan, Boulder Aquatic Masters, which he wrote for a local Colorado newspaper. Maybe the article would provide you with a little ammunition and a little insight for your HR folks. www.dailycamera.com/.../
