1) Are you married/living with SO?
2) Do you have children living at home?
3) Do you work full-time?
4) Do you drive 20 minutes or more (each way) to the pool?
It seems like everyone I know who makes it to the pool 3 or more times a week either doesn't have kids or doesn't work full-time. I'm not sure I've found anyone who fits into all of the above categories. If you do, how the heck do you do it? :bow:

1) Yes, and she has also started swimming again (she was much better than I as a young'un, albeit unrealized potential)
2) Yes, ages 7, 5 and 3
3) Yes, at least 50 hours per week
4) I drive 20 mins to work, and the pool is another 5-10 minutes from the office
We do it like this: wife swims/yoga/pilates from 6-7a M-F, and sometimes fits in a workout on the weekend. I swim during the lunch hour 4-5x per week, and then at 6:30a on the weekend.
It can be done. In our case, the sacrifice is going to bed at +/- 10:00p every night. I haven't seen Letterman since college (and even then, with 5:15a workouts, it was a rare treat).
