There has to be another way
Since the incident, I have been fortunate enough to move to a home with a pool. So far I’ve only had a few opportunities to use it, but they have been pleasant and not generally hurt my ankle.
I have found that my ankle or leg cramp to a debilitating degree fairly frequently while in the cold water, but that usually doesn’t last too long. It is possible I could make better (and/or more frequent) use of the pool, but that will have to wait until warmer weather to determine. Thank you for the recommendation.
You can also go to a club with a climatized pool all year. I go to one for swimming, but there are allot of people doing aquagym too. Swimming its awesome because dont hurt your articulations but let you train muscles.
Thank you for the thought! I live in a pretty small town. I would be very surprised if there were such a facility within an hour of here (not to say I wouldn’t travel a two hour round trip to mitigate my pain, but it would be discouraging). If swimming in my pool next year helps, I’ll look into finding an indoor pool for the next cool season.
