Hard to get to pool due to blues

I know many people just go to the pool, no matter what, they don't give themselves a choice, but I've succumbed to bad case of blues. Swimming always has been my salvation for depression, but now I am finding it very hard to get out of the house to get to the pool. I know "inertia begets inertia" (I read that once); thus I just gotta get myself to the pool. Anyone out there have any ways they trick their minds/bodies when it feels like the world is made of cement? Drugs aren't the answer for me; been there, done them. Swimming really has been an incredible help. I have swim goals: I'm not accomplishing them due to the incredible pull of my cozy bed and evening "house" clothes.

    I agree with suggestions. Building on suggestion that Mary made about having someone stop by to accompany you to the pool. If that is not possible do you know someone who will call you each day at the appropriate time to remind(urge ) you to go to the pool.
