Guest guest Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 Kirk/, Is there heated pools at the Gyms in your area? Around here one can get a " pool only membership " to a Gym with a heated pool fairly cheap. allison laptop wrote: I have to swim in warm water too..

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 We were really blessed and whoever owned our home five years ago had a heated pool put in. We haven't opened it yet or turned on the heater because we are waiting for our home in Seattle to sell - it has our finances very tight. We WIll open it in the summer for sure and we are hoping to cover the pool when our other home sells and heat the pool in the winter (if we can afford it) I don't have a clue as to what it will cost, but I have such low energy levels, not having to go out will help me out a lot. We'll just have to see what happens. We may have to wait a bit to follow our dream and cover it, but we'll be patient. Last year, I went on a trip with 5 of my girl friends (all whom have chronic illnesses, none of them have stills though). They could all handle the cooler water way better than I could. It froze me to the bones in a minute. I tend to run a temp every afternoon and night, even though they tend to be mostly low grade now (and sometimes up to 102), my normal temp is 97, so my body doesn't handle cold water at all. They handled it like nothing. I couldn't figure out what was wrong with me... Take care, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 We have a pool at our apartment complex but they don't heat it. Fortunately I'm in Florida, but I hate that I cannot swim during November thru April when it's so warm. I don't understand how the water can stay so cool. One of my best friends in Wisconsin had a pool for years and was always able to swim much longer than most because she had a thermal cover for her pool - it takes the sun and heats the water. The cover was expensive (although I don't have a clue as to how much) but it really heated the pool once that expense was paid for. Just an idea. I'd buy it for the apartment pool but I'd be afraid that other tenants would be angry as I need the water warmer than most and it might interfere with their swimming.

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 Kirk, Our local university has a program where non-students can buy a pass to the heated pool. I don't swim - so I can't say how warm it is. But I hear it is cheap, like $20.00 year. I wish you luck in finding some relief. I know you need it.

Besides that, their idea of heat is roughly a couple of degrees above ambient. It is by far the coldest indoor pool I've ever been in. The High Schools all have heated pools, but I don't think they take 37 year old students these days...especially with the no child left behind joke!

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 I know that there are some hotels/motels with heated pools that will let you pay to use their pool/gym facilities. I did that once years ago. Maybe there are some in your area. I don't think it was real expensive at the time - although I had money then. And they generally heat the pools more than a school or gym would. I also belonged to the local college's health club years ago as well (I used to be a jockette of sorts) and while I was an alumni there, my roommate wasn't and she was also able to join for a few dollars more.

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 Well, in a sense...I have one already...I just have a hard time getting out of it most of the time! A few years prior to getting whacked, my wife & I despised our tub so bad that I was going to torch it in place. My shoulder with is right around 28 " ....the tub was 22 " if that. I used to have to " V " my back & chest to take a bath, plus it was a very short tub, maybe 50 " ...and I'm 5'6 1/2 " ....my poor wife who loves baths is 5'11 " ! So we decided to have a new tub installed by a friend of mine who is a contractor, and the price difference to a Jacuzzi type tub wasn't much at all, so that's what we have. It helps me greatly when I can't move, but than I can't get out! When I feel " movable " I'd prefer a shower to a bath any day.....so I don't benefit all that much from it, though I loved it a lot before I got sick. As far as insurance goes.....I know how to make it affordable. Mandate the CEO max salary & benefit package to the median income of all of the customers. Than you can allow them a bonus up to 1/2 of the median salary if the company is profitable that year. These M***** ******* are making million per year and get HUGE severance packages for doing little more than playing golf! I could see someone being rewarded for starting a unique, successful company, but everyone needs health care. Where the hell else is one going to get it. One word sums up most of this countries problem....GREED! Have a good one, Kirk. > > Wouldn't it be nice if insurance would pay for a hot tub??? > > Just dreaming!!! > > > IL > > > > > > I know that there are some hotels/motels with heated pools that > will let you > > pay to use their pool/gym facilities.
