The pool is outdoors, but because it is in Florida, thunderstorms are more of an issue than cold weather. When I started swimming laps again about eight years ago, they were the first since Kennedy was President. It took a lot of work, but I was swimming pretty well before COVID hit. I had to have surgery last winter for a herniated disk and am working on getting my distance back up to what it used to be. I always consider my age cohort, most men who are almost 75 swim zero yards a day, so anything is better than that. I would like to get back to doing a mile a couple of times a week before fall.
