Part of my problem is that I find it hard to get to the pool and when I am there what am I supposed to do with my crutches and how do I get in and out of the pool :eek:, it wasn't too bad where we lived before I joined a private health club (along with Dr Dragon), and they always had a life guard on who took my crutches off me and put them at the side when I reached the steps (and they were proper steps not a ladder!)

I have exactly the same prob re crutches, I dump mine at the side, but unless they have proper steps I've had it. Our local baths has 4 pools, 1 big one, (just the mini ladder steps), a teaching pool, (2ft 6in) thats excluded as too much blubber on show, and 2 others in that section, the one has the proper steps, but 90% of the time its booked out to schools, swimming lessons etc, the only time I really get to enjoy swimming is when I go down to Devon, as the site we stay on has 2 seperate steps (either end of pool). I know our local pool as got the hoist, but when I enquired I got told, your overweight, (yes ok!!), its health and safety, dont know what staff are qualified to use it, and this is the best one - you cant be that disabled your walking on crutches............. x

Hope you manage it then Taxi as your routine does sound worryingly like mine at times..We need to get ourselves sorted with all of this.
Have a good weekend. x

Hi Taxi just catching up from the past few days. Glad you enjoyed your class and well done on your weight loss.

I am trying to pluck up the courage to join a gym there is one literally a 2 minute walk from me - that can be another resolution for me! x x
