So I heard from the Ballard gym! And they do have swimming! It took a biscillion notes back and forth to get and understand all the details. But, they have half off the enrollment fees and until Phase 3, there is no monthly fee. We are not likely to see Phase 3 around here for months.

Interestingly, the other gym, much closer to me, told me today that the governor's orders prevents them from opening the pool until Phase 3. Somehow I think there's some confusion somewhere but I don't care as long as I can swim.

It's $15 to swim for 60 minutes so I won't be doing it every day. Plus there are not slots open every day. I could not even get the first one until Tuesday. Happily, however, the other swimmers are not big on early morning swims.

Here's what I bought so far:



I can cancel any of these with 24 hours notice.

There are some pools (I've found 2 so far) that my lungs do not like one bit. So there's a chance, this could be one of those. And I will have just blown $130 enrollment fee and $15 swim fee. But, I honestly have no way of knowing until I try it out and that's the cost of trying it out. So...

I got out my swim stuff. Whoa. Pretty musty smelling so now I'm airing it out. And charging up my swim music player. It took me a little bit to discover where I stashed my swimsuits but I found them.

I've paid the money... now I just have to wait until Tuesday!!

Yay for swimming! It's been so long! At least you can cancel if it turns out the pool and your lungs don't like each other. I hope that's not the case though.

Yippee-Yay! That is great news. Fingers are crossed that your lungs and this gym's pool get along well.

Slightly anxious about the chlorine, and $15 for ONE SWIM? But so exciting that swimming is on the horizon!

So glad you get to swim again!!! Hooray!

The phases seem to be pretty up to interpretation. Neither of the big pools near me are open (King County's Aquatic Center and Federal Way Community Center) but the small little pool we have in our neighborhood is open for members, by appointment on weekends.
