Go with the FLO POOL
I had my first swimming lesson in a bout 25 years yesterday, but not in any old swimming pool.. i swam in a pool called a FLO POOL, where you swim in a tiny plunge pool, against a current. There are mirrors everywhere so you can watch your style, or in my case, watch everything wobble and see the air bubbling out of your nose as you breath out under water...V strange. My amazing international swimming coach lady pressed a button and the current commenced. She twisted a twisty thing to make the current stronger and I started swimming faster and faster. It was utterly exhausting, and only a week after a marathon was probably a bit more than gentle exercise. I am hooked already... and can feel my swimmers shoulders busting out of my summer spaghetti vests just thinking about it, but hey at least I won't get marathon black toes with my new found sport. If fact the only downsides are having to keep a check on my bikini line and dealing with goggle panda eyes for the rest of the day.
