When I found out I was pregnant I joined the YMCA. I wanted to take water aerobics classes to stay in shape. I joined in June hoping to meet other mothers and make some friends. I have been taking the one hour class five days a week for months and love it. I wanted to fit in so I had to buy the appropriate clothing. The pool is outside so I need to make sure I had proper the sun protection for my face. Allen thought the hat was funny but several of the pool ladies were very interested in where I purchased it (DSW in case you want one for yourself:). I wanted to make sure I get the best workout possible so I had to purchase the workout gloves to add resistance in the water. All the serious swimmers in the class wear them. Right now you are thinking they are so cool and wish you had a pair (Amazon) :)
Have I made any friends you ask? After class I usually sit out by the pool for 20-30 minutes to get some vitamin D (on everything but my face...thanks to my awesome hat). During this time I have made some friends. Of course they are all retired ladies in their late sixties and early seventies. But they are all so nice to chat with and since they are free during the day it has been nice to get together with them to tour a museum or go to lunch. I have enjoyed my swim sessions and will miss them when is too cold to swim outside.

I lOVE it! With my Zumba Gold class at the Tustin Senior center, I can totally relate. Some are in their 50's but most are 60's to 80's and I love them! We are learning each other's names and I would call many of them "friend" now. I feel blessed to have time during the day to meet such lovely ladies. Many still work, but not full time. :) Awesome!!
