Hi Galatia!! Nice to meetcha!! I'll pop by your place for a proper how do you do!!

I made myself go out. It was so hard...92 degrees and a pool like bath water from the torturous midday sun beating down on the overflowing verdant water!! These last rains we've had fill her to the brim and dissipated all the chlorine leaving a lovely layer (sorry Mil I typed lawyer! ) of algae on the bottom. Just gave me more of a work out brushing it all down before I got out.

Down to business: 1 hour in the water. (the pool is 18' long)
10 laps breast stroke, arms no legs (my pool noodle keeps me afloat)
10 laps backstroke, arms under water, not the out of water reach, no legs
4 laps frog kick, no arms (inner thigh workout from hell!!)
2 laps full back stroke, arms and legs
countless laps pulling 30lb granddaughter in a pool toy
20 minutes brushing the bottom of the pool with a 2' wide pool broom. Talk about resistance training, push that thing back & forth underwater while maintaining full contact with the bottom. (I was in the pool while sweeping, not standing on the edge) Great upper body & ab workout!!

Hoping for a great hard walk in the morning.
