My energy is returning aand I did a rather nice, low impact work-out last Saturday with other pregnant ladies in the park. We're having ridiculous warm and Sunny weather over here, around 27 degrees celcius and not a cloud in the sky. It was nice to go outdoors and have someone tell me what to do. Qne of the downsides of being a bd teacher for over twelve is having to tell other people what to do. It is so relaxing and comforting to step outside that role and just go along for the ride.
Someone else from my centering pregnancy group wanted to try out swimming. The regular kind of doing laps, not the pregnancy swimming in hot water type. As the swimmingpool is only five minutes away from me and I've never been there I was in for the action! I can't remember the last time that I did laps, it must be over ten years ago with a friend when I was still at University.
The swimmingpool is rather nice and friendly. It has two pools for doing laps: a regular one and one with warmer water. In the middle is a small kiddies pool. There is no recreational pool, so no water slides or tropical swim Paradise kind of thing. And it was quite busy! We got into the pool and did 45 minutes of swimming. I lost count of how many laps. We talked and swam, trying to avoind other swimmers. There are no lanes for regular lap swimmers, you just have to make do. Also, there were two lanes marked'cçompetititon' and 'speed' that had a guy standing next to it yelling 'faster!'
It was nice to talk to my friend and afterwards we waded through the heated pool to relax a bit. I am now waiting to see how much muscle ache I'm going to get. It was nice to be in the water and swim, I think I'm going to do that more regulary. Swimming is also much more affordable compared to the pregnancy fitness class. Pregnancy fitness is 12,50 per class, swimming is 3,68. Pregnancy swimming woulld be 7,86 because there's an instructor. It's subsidized by the community plus the swimmingpool has a crazy schedule with all types of swimming classes, water polo and dive instruction going on. So time to do laps is limited according to the schedule.
During our holiday we'll have a pool next to the campsite so I can go for a swim there as well. Nice!
