roxie Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 HI! So maybe insurance won't cover a therapy pool, I'm am bummer But I am curious, those of you that swim, how often do you swim? How long do you swim? If I can't get my own pool, maybe I can go to someplace once or twice a week, is a pt place or gym better?Any advice would be helpfulMadeline Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tearose Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 Madeline, I don't do the swimming thing...I get too cold. I just am supposing you should find what works for you. With your schedule and your body. Maybe three times a week like other exercise plans is a good place to work towards.I'm always wondering... I just must break down and ask.... do you really hate bananas? What did a banana ever do to you?sorry, I was just overcome with curiosity. take care!tearose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lalalisa Posted March 11, 2007 Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 Madeline,Hello! Glad to hear that you are planning on trying out swimming. I don't have a strict # of days that I swim each week...it all depends on how busy I am and also how I'm feeling. I probably average twice a week (some weeks I swim more and if I have a busy week going once is all I can do) Consistancy is definitely a great thing though. I've worked up from 1/2 lap to 7 laps (1 lap = down and back) over the 10 months (olympic sized pool). (7 laps takes me about 25 minutes) I continue to add a lap once I get used to the new goal. My husband is a student so for now I am blessed to go to his seminary for free to swim (it's great because I'm often the only one in the pool!). I do know others who swim at the local YMCA and enjoy that as well. Oh, I don't like banana's either because they upset my GI system SO badly. (maybe we should join a club?) =)Take care,Lisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
