I've started going to an Aquafit class. I used to go quite often, however since Mason's arrival, I've been slacking. Now there are too many wobbly bits and something needs to be done. It's at a perfect time too: right after Mason goes to bed. So yesterday was my first time at the Wednesday classes. I made a few observations:

1. Most of the people are about my age (late 20s) or really old. I don't know why this surprised me. Maybe it's only been my experience that old people do this. I was pleasantly surprised.

2. There were some seriously large people there. Now I'm not judging. In fact, kudos to them for coming. What got me was, here I am self-conscience of the way I look in a bathing suit and here are these ladies laughing and walking around while waiting for the class to start. Me? I hid under my towel until the last possible moment.

3. However, it was these same ladies who felt free enough to walk around naked in the change room, in no apparent hurry to get dressed, and struck up a conversation with me. Why not during the class?! Why not on the deck before? Why now?! Again, I chose to change in one of the change stalls. I guess I shouldn't fret too much, it's not like I could see their cookie if I wanted to, their gunt was in the way....

4. At one point the instructor had us riding the pool noodles. We had them between our legs and she had us pumping our legs so we'd move backwards. First off, it looked like we all had massive cocks, then when 'pumping' our legs...well it looked rather erotic. I'm sure she did this because it looks so rude and she'd get a laugh. I'd do the same thing.

5. Yours truly broke out into song, when Rod Stewart's "D'ya think I'm sexy" came on. Talk about loonie bin material. One of the male life guards howled and then joined in with me, dancing on his little platform. I figured he was helping me along until the men with the white coats showed up.

6. Why is it always me that is approached by folks who are missing a few bricks from their load? Now if it was after my little song outburst I'd understand, but no. Maybe it's because I'm nice, or they see one of their own, I don't know. But when her first sentence is, "did you know I had tuna for supper tonight?"....

So after all that?
You bet I'm going back.

the nakedness, dont worry i dont understand it either, cause women at our pool strike up convos naked all the time.

and i think you are like me. you have a huge neon sign over your head that only others (crazies) can see that reads 'please talk to me and tell me about your life' it flashes i think in green pink and yellow.. you know for that real crazy effect

There's just so many things to comment on here that I'll leave it to the others! Though a picture of you on a pool noodle would bring big bucks!

I've always been the same way about covering up. Lord knows why, but no matter if I'm the biggest or smallest person in the room I'm always more inclined to cover up or change in private...

I wish I could find a water aerobics class by me. That sounds like SO MUCH FUN!!!
