exercise regularly (read all 21 entries…)
Ready to start swimming again 11 months ago

I have a new bathing suit, I’ve made my body as presentable as it can be all things considered, and I’m ready to start swimming again. Haven’t swum seriously since high school; once in awhile I’ve gone swimming since but never really for exercise, just for fun and sometimes with the nephews. I’m sure my form will suck but it’s the activity that matters, right? Maybe once I get back into it I’ll enroll in a class or something – I know the local Y offers a class for adults to work on their strokes.

Still haven’t overcome the basic problem of eyesight, though. I’m very nearsighted and hate going without my glasses – though I probably won’t physically run into people in the pool, I find it very disorienting, like living in a Monet painting, but without all the serenity and French landscapes. Maybe I should find out just how expensive it would be to get prescription goggles. Any ideas, anyone?

Googles!

I have really rubbish eyesight and got prescription goggles from the internet for about £25 which isn’t too expensive compared to glasses!

Taken so much worry out of swimming for me now!

Just search on google and you’ll find they come pretty cheap, good luck!

Andreya has been pampered in a spa today :)

YAY for swimming!!

I am nearsighted too (-4 or so), so that’s why I do eyesight exercises (whenever I remember!) – could you start doing some too?

I generally find my eyesight improves when in water, & relaxed! (especially if I remember to blink a lot!) Flexibility of the spine & general exercisising & eating right has something to do with it too…

I try to go for my walks without glasses (when I remember) & just carry them in my pocket, to pull out if necessary. Maybe you could bring them & leave them with the towel? (that’s what I usually did)

In a way I like living in a Monet painting.. :)
(It is most annoying when not knowing who to flirt with;)

Sorry I couldn’t be more helpful…
But good luck with it all!!
