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 can't tell you much about the pool at Mem Gym [I'm afraid of public pools + my hairdye], but if you cultivate a friend that works there or goes to school there [Bill pops to mind and might be able to give you more info], you can often go as a guest. I used to do that in the early 90's.

We don't have a good Y here, IMO, because we're too goddamn yuppified.
However, if you go to Meade Ave's pool, they have adult swim. It isn't open in the winter, though.

I'll see what else I can find out for you from folks around town if you like! :)
