Reassessing fitness goals


Happily, there are pools all over the place around here. Sadly, I can’t seem to find a swim team to swim with. Naturally there are pools at all the condo buildings in the expat areas because the weather is so hot and humid, but from the condos we looked at, most of the pools are recreational pools meant for lounging and not hardcore swimming like I am used to. A few of the pools did have lines in the bottom of the pool although ours doesn’t. Fortunately (but not luckily, as I wouldn’t have it any other way), our condo has a pool that is just longer than 25 yards, is cool, has straight edges rather than curves, and is 4 1/2 feet deep all over. So I have begun considering mixing in other kinds of workouts to keep me fit if I can’t swim with a team this year. Perhaps it will be a combination of tennis, table tennis, fitness room exercises, and dance classes. We shall see how the year progresses...In the meantime, take a look at some of these pools.
