Here's my thought. I've been getting my daughters pool set up and its been hectic cause it still isn't level. Judging levels and distances is something Ive always had a problem with. Anyways, I was wondering if there was any one out there that had been swimming for exercise or if there are people that didn't know you could do swimming for exercise. I took an aquatic class for a gym course at TTU and you don't realize everything you can do while you are in the water.

Yes, I realized I could exercise in the pool and have been doing that for years. makes it alot less harder on the body for sure. I have been teaching my little sister this year..she likes to exercise in the water.

We've had my little girl in the water since she was 10 days old cause that was just happened to be when our vacation was scheduled. She loves the pool. I had gotten her a kiddie pool and she just wasnt playing in it from where she had been in bigger pools with the time share we have. anyways, we decided against better judgement to get the big pool. we've had a time getting it to level out because our back yard is so uneven. thanks for your response.

I had to take a shovel and hoe to level mine out, my sister in law did the same then added sand to level it. My little sister has gotten the taste for bigger pools as well and she hates that she has to swim in what is supposed to be a family pool but is only 22 inches deep 6x10. Next door neighbors has a big pool and I have a time with her wanting to go over and swim.

I tried swimming for exercise last summer. But I really didn't lose any weight, inches, or anything. I did at least twice a week, but usually it was daily.
I want to actually take a class, but I can't seem to get into one. So I think this summer I'll have to hope that running gets me in shape. I'm thinking of doing a half marathon sometime in the fall.

I set up the backyard pool and I have been trying to do my exercises in the water as to kill two birds with one stone. Typically after supper I work out in the basement, but since the summer hit my children want me to play with them in the pool. So to be with them supervising and playing and getting some exercise in I will try to do some things in there. i know my sister was involved with a YMCA aquafit program that she just loved because of the non impact exercises that she has difficulty with.
