Re: not coping

Nothing like getting out of an extra heated pool and into the Tassie air in winter @outlander 🤣 Shame about your area Might be worth checking out if there are any heated pools you can get access to. Some will allow it for therapy purposes.

Re: not coping

I'm just driving south to visit mum @outlander not really a holiday but I'll enjoy being alone on the drive.

I sometimes go to Deep Water Running and find that is really helpful with my joint pain. The pool is heated but not as warm as the hydro pool.

Re: not coping

haha gotta love those winter days! @Zoe7 does it snow down in Tassie?

i might ask, some of the swim schools might let me hire for a short while during the day when all the kids are at school so its quieter and wont affect business

Re: not coping

I find water to be very healing @outlander and I hope to stop in at a few beaches on my journey.
