I have been refusing to join a gym because I can't afford the extra cost but have really wanted to be able to swim for exercise. Most of the gyms in the area don't have pools and the ones that do are pretty expensive. Well the other day I was at the library and found a flyer for public swimming at a local middle school. The best part is that it is free for me to do lap swimming! I just didn't believe it so I stopped by yesterday to get more details. Turns out this time of year, they don't have very many people who use the pool so when I go it will be pretty much to myself! The only disadvantage is that the hours for lap swimming is limited to 5:15-7:15 am or 8:30-9:00 pm M-F. It will be good for me to wake up early and so I will just have to motivate myself. If I do go during open plunge hours I'm sure that I could still swim laps but it costs $3 per swim or $30 for 30 swims. There is also another cost if I want to go to water aerobics. I dug out my bathing suit and am excited for the pounds to just melt away!
