I found a pool in my neighborhood for $25 a year.

The new me has decided to do laps at least twice a week.

Now I could probably go to the fancy gym close to my apartment that doesn’t have rules like:

You must have a strong lock for your locker because there have been break ins. And showering before entering the pool is mandatory plus you have to wear a hat to swim and they suggest that ‘seniors’ use a  key lock because they keep forgetting their combinations but a penny saved …..

I went for my first swim yesterday. I did 25 laps.

The dressing room wasn’t too bad except there was one woman showering there who was clearly homeless. She had a change of clothes and what appeared to be a bookcase in her shopping cart.

She didn’t offend me as much as the young girls in their black lace thongs. I got dressed behind a curtain unlike those sluts. If they want to see my lime green cotton underpants they can whistle.

Since the pool is only about 5 blocks from my house I’m thinking I can avoid the whole dressing room thing by wearing my skirt bathing suit, my bathing cap, flippers and a towel around my neck to walk over there.

It’s the walking home all wet that might be a problem but if I hide a tenner in my flipper I can take a cab home.

Problem solved.
