Hope everyone is doing okay in this heat. I know how it affects many of us.
I’ve recently bought one of the ‘fast set’ pools. We bought a 2.4m pool, filter pump, cover, and the necessary chemicals to keep it running throughout summer (without the need to drain and refill it every few days). Total cost was about £70 over a few months - not cheap at all but MY god has it been a godsend!
I used to love sitting in the sun (still do) but the heat just slows me down until I feel like I’m wading through treacle. I’ve found that dipping in and out of the pool been a real game changer in how I’m handling the heat. It also helps hugely with my constant lower back pain - I couldn’t sit on the floor, but sitting in the pool is such a relief. The fact it’s a pretty deep pool really helps too. I don’t feel like Winnie the Pooh sitting in a shallow bath tub!
I understand that between cost/space/mobility, this may not work for many but honestly if it’s an option for you I’d highly recommend it.
