You can't swim, because you naturally sink or because you never learned how? I'm off to go swim 60 (150") laps in an hour.

I swim like a brick. I can only manage depths not lengths lol.
It's amazing how easy maintenance is. If done regularly and thoroughly

I don't swim anymore, but used to be a fish. PP is doing the right thing - no impact issues, not even speed sprints are needed. I just cannot take the pool chemicals anymore (dostor's orders). My son learned to swim before he learned to walk well (American U. had an infant/toddler program). Swimming is basic.

Yeah, no sprinting here, just keep moving along at a steady pace. I feel a lot stronger than when I 1st started & have cut a lot of time off my total.

For over-all toning, laps are absolutely fantastic. My neighborhood is >100 years old, sidewalks are in very poor condition and only on one side of the street - Between my severe peripheral neuropathy and my poor vision, even walking is out for me. I miss using the pool for laps. It takes a lot of specialized exercises to keep me in the shape that laps would do much more easily and pleasantly. I wish I had the space and $$$ for an O2-sterilized endless pool attached to the house...
