After watching my new state of the art fitness center being built for over a year....closest pool otherwise is 50 minutes a way.....big day arrives....14 days pool is open 12 of them I am in it....get there Sat morning....84 degrees!! Said the theraphy pool at 88 is tool warm for water aerobics...but 80 too cold (what the lap pool was...which is still too warm for me) so they compromised with 83 or 84 degrees....I say "some compromise" more like cave in....exact words from pool person..."I swim laps all the time, and 83 feels good to me".......:(

Because of limited facilities in this thriving metropolis I live in I swim in the base pool at the gym.....was originally supposed to be a 6 lane 25 yard indoor adventure....due to budget constraints all they could afford a few years ago was 3 lanes x 25 yards. It feels like a dungeon when you walk in. Anyway, because the pool is shared by water aerobics and lap swim they compromised at 86!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The other day I got in and somebody had messed with the temp it was 88.....I had a nice discussion with the lifeguard afterwards, 86 is bad enough but 88? :argue: :frustrated: :blah: :blah: :blah:
But on the other hand, I am just grateful that there is a pool within a couple of minutes from where I work!!!!!
