@glasgow46 : no idea about the size of your community. We have several indoor pools, mostly at sports facilities like the YMCA and assorted fitness centers. However, I lucked out when I found a 10x10 meter heated indoor pool in a wellness/fitness center attached to a senior living community. As long as I avoid the time of water exercise classes, and the 1st half hour after opening, I very often have the whole pool to myself. Love it! I can swim laps or do whatever I like. Once I’m good and tired, I take 10 minutes in the very warm 6x18 ft. whirlpool. Heavenly! Does something similar exist where you live? If a friend had not mentioned that one can have guest memberships in the senior center exercise facility I would have never thought about it.

We have several sports and pool facilities, all indoors due to cold winters. However accessing a heated pool with safe room for me to walk and do my exercises safely is not possible, and I can’t swim, so limited in what I can do. When we go south I will have access to a heated pool, conducive to walking etc so looking forward to it for sure.sounds like you did luck into your pool situation!
