Re: Exercise helps? what temp is therapeutic pool?

[Guest guest]

The YWCA where I live claims it's 87 degree pool is therapeutic, but it feels

cold to me. So

what temp is therapeutic? am I just really off with my temp receptors? Also they

put so

much chlorine in there it triggers my Asthma. Any ideas anyone?

The Y here told me there's is not theraputic - I heard anything over 87 is - but

83 was cold to me last night. I have no thermastat anymore and I wonder

sometimes if it is the diabetes or the fibro. No one else was cold last night -

my friend was not cold - but I was chattering and had goose bumps

hugs

You know, that was one reason why I hadn't checked out the place that

does therapeutic water aerobics - because of the chlorine. I know

that if I get a whiff of bleach it sets off my asthma so I can only

imagine what being in a heavily-chlorinated pool would be like! My

folks have an outside pool and in another month or so it will be warm

enough for me to swim. Granted I won't be able to " fly " like I could

before fibro, but if it gives me the exercise while helping me

stretch my muscles in a non-threatening way, well, I'm going for it!

Now to find a swimsuit that fits!
