Hi,
I'm new to the forum and this is my first post. I want to start swimming (just for fitness) distance, and just see how far I go and keep working at it. I'm an 18 year old male in northeast PA. I have a pool but its too small to keep swimming back and forth for distance. Where do you guys swim at? Should I get a membership at my local CYC or something? I want a large pool (indoor or out) with lanes so I can swim straight and not bother anyone. I've been very reclusive for a while because I've been depressed from a few personal problems I have/have endured. I know how exercise is used to treat mild depression and I'm kind of a physical kind of person so I thought I'd give it a shot.
My only problem is I don't know where I can swim at... Where do you guys do it? Is there a club or some national fitness center that has a large pool with lanes for swimming. I don't want a pool with like 100 people in it doing cannon balls....
Thanks and I look forward to becoming a regular here and in the pool.

Hey thanks a lot! Now is there always a lifeguard on duty? It would just feel awkward with someone watching me go back and forth.... Are there special designated pools for swimming laps, and others for playing in?
Thanks so much!
