Year 41 began with a move back to Pennsylvania. It also began my journey in changing up my workouts to improve mobility using the pool and yoga. I remember learning to swim in my cousin’s pool with the Charleroi’s Polar Bear, Gus Brickner, Sr and I remember hating to swim when I had to for gym class. I figured this was a good change up to all the soccer running I get in as a referee.
Here’s the pool list and counting:
Mon Valley YMCA, Charleroi, PA
- Regatta Bay Tennis and Pool Club, Destin, FL
- Marquette University Rec Plex, Milwaukee, WI
- Aquatic Center in Destin, Destin, FL
- Olympic Pool and Fitness Center, Penn Hills, PA
- Pullen Park Aquatic Center, Raleigh, NC
- Optimist Pool, Raleigh, NC
- Triangle Aquatic Center, Cary, NC

Then there are the places that I’ve swam that really don’t count as a workout.
- Allegheny River, Bradys Bend, PA
- Gulf of Mexico, Destin, FL
- In Progress
And of course since I’m back in Pittsburgh, Pools that I need to swim:
- Highland Park Pool, Pittsburgh, PA
- Carnegie Library and Athletic Club of Homestead, Homestead, PA
- Panama City Beach Aquatic Center, Panama City Beach, FL
- In Progress
