boy needs to exercise more. he wants to do it with me.

well, since bearing weight on my feet kills me still (haven't managed to budget orthotics yet) and just *walking* is painful, i told hiim i can only swim with him, nothing else. swimming is also the least painful/stressful form of exercise i can do and it won't leave me curled up in bed for several days afterward.

well, gyms with pools aren't that common around here. and the ones that do have pools are expensive as hell.

the local YMCA doesn't have a facility of its own and offers no joint adult swimming programs with local school pools.

there is a Y in farmville (40 miles away) with a joint swim program. there's also a Y in waynesboro (35 miles again) with a pool. 40 miles takes too damn long in this area (45-60 minute drive one-way). *sigh*

bah. i miss having a local Y with affordable rates. if new castle, indiana, could do it, why can't charlottesville?

i've been looking at info about UVA's facilities, but i'd prefer to avoid that. parking is one issue (i'd have to walk quite a distance + pay to park). many universities these days charge as much as a health club, though. i know AU started doing that, even for *employees*.

UVA doesn't appear to sell memberships to non-university community folks (employees, students, families of either).

and i can't get a job (even part-time) at UVA because they have a hiring freeze (state budget issues). oh, and because i'm too ill to work. *sigh*
