I too have been to the pool 2 times this month. However, when "walking" into the pool, it felt like the water was fire! It took me almost 5 minutes of sheer determination to get use to 88 degree water! I use to swim underwater, breast stroke, and regular (on the tummy) BUT I found that on my tummy trying to do any kicking brought tears to my eyes - it was SO painful! Laying on my back, fine - I could kick with little pain. "Walking" in the pool was easier and not as painful or fatiguing as on land. I used 2 noodles to hold me up and float around which if nothing else is very relaxing. The moral of my story - I guess I don't want to be on any Titanics!
Prayers and thoughts for you and yours,
Candy K.

Let me know if you are interested in an underwater MP3 player. I have one and can swim for an hour listening to my doo wop music....I love it...and it is so easy to work that you can be computer illiterate abnd still have no problems. You will be surprised how much easier the workout is when you are listening to music!

Hey everyone! Either I got kicked off the list or there just isn't much happening on here! Well it is getting warm out, and it is time to get out for some fresh air and sunshine! I have been swimming two times now and it was awesome, it is the first time I have been "in" the water in over 9 months. I only get showers not baths, it felt so strange when they lowered me into the water! I had to have a floatie because apparently I cannot swim as easily as I thought! My legs want to float up when I want them down, and they want to go down when I want them to float. Go figure![]() But it was nice to feel like I was almost standing there, the water was nice and warm, and I was able to float on my back all by myself with no floatie!! My PT was excited![]() Me too![]() I am definitely want to find a heated pool to use, I just gotta get stronger arms to do this stuff! Can't wait to do it again. Hope all is well out there in cyber land and everyone is having a great day!
