Ah, there's nothing like swimming. The first descent into liquid gold, the feeling of refreshing cold over your body, the gliding underwater for the ultimate in peace and quiet... and then there's the public pool experience. The not so faint aroma of chlorine, the screaming children and all those floating bandaids... Well, i love swimming. Pretty much anywhere. So when I learned there was a pool in Rupert I figured it was the best antidote to days of meetings and potential stress. For $5.50 (plus 50c for locker) i only had to share the one lane available with one person (there is adult swim only after 6pm but before there are lots of lessons, screaming kids) and although i found the temperature to be a bit hot, it really did put me into the zone. So if you're jonesing for a few laps, this definitely does the job. Just don't look too hard at the bottom of the pool. read more
