Exercising in a swimming pool.

I am thinking about getting a swimming pool. I hear that when you exercise in a swimming pool; it will help you loose weight. I have also heard that it will also help if a person has a few other health problems. The only reason I have not gotten a swimming pool yet is because the price and upkeep of the swimming pool. If I could afford the swimming pool; I would spend hours in the pool.

That's a good idea my friend. While you're planning to have s swimming pool of your own, why not so some brisk walking? It's a good exercise too and it's free.

I do a lot of walking without having the swimming pool.

@Scrapper88 That's good. Keep it up. How do you monitor your walking pace?

Once it's set up, the upkeep isn't too bad.

Have you thought about a gym membership? You won't need to do the upkeep with it and you could get all the exercise you want.

Cheaper to just go to the YMCA

The closest YMCA to me is at least 50 miles away. Going there is out of the question.

Water exercise is very healthy if you can afford the pool. Too bad you don't know someone with one.

I do know a few people with a swimming pool, but I am not sure if they will let me use it.

I love swimming and went everyday. The pool closed for awhile and now it opened up again.
