I know, I know, it’s supposed to be “Back to School.†But all parents and grandparents know that when the kids are back at school, the adults have more time for themselves. Jump on the opportunity! Join a Water Aerobics, Swimming, or Diving class. Get in the water and feel better! And read this for some motivation and ideas.
While you’re at it, take a look at some back to school products… (Hey, I’m giving you one-stop shopping) 🙂
And this deal is for you and the kids, and so good I just bought one myself:
I find that while I’m working out, I need a lot of water. Part of it is because I’m teaching, therefore talking a lot, and part of it is because I like drinking water almost as much as being in the water. So, I recommend the 40 oz bottles.
Water Temps
Something we haven’t talked about are cold pools. Some pools are very cold, including the one I work out in. The YMCAs in my area keep the water at 78 degrees, but the independently owned facility I belong to keeps their water at 81 degrees, so shop around. Hey, every little degree counts, especially if you’re cold-natured like I am. And it’s not limited to the winter months either. You add on air conditioning, and it can get cold even in the summer. I often laugh going into my facility because when it’s above 90 degrees outside, I’m wearing more clothes in the water than when I’m walking into the facility.Â
Either way, for this problem I recommend wetsuit jackets, like the one pictured here. 3ml are the warmest, and you want to be sure to order by your measurements, not your normal size. These jackets are made all over the world, and they don’t adjust to U.S. based sizes. Also, they’re supposed to fit tight. These are wetsuit jackets, so they don’t keep you dry, but by being close-fitting, they do help keep you warm. So take your measurements, order a jacket, and feel much more comfortable in the water.
Have you joined a pool yet? Signed up for a swimming class? Joined a water aerobics class? Are you getting wet yet?
I’ll see ya’ in the water.
