Swimming

Gregory has always loved to swim. When we first moved to the Condo we were very excited that a L.A. Fitness Gym was in the building. In the beginning, G was able to manage getting to the club, managing the locker room and his gym bag, swimming and showering, and then getting back to the Condo. Most of last year he lost that ability so he did not get to swim as often as he would like. I think he was actually afraid of managing the process by himself more than actually not being able to.

Now that he has two companions, between Ben & Ken and I we can provide Gregory with more time in the swimming pool again. He is very excited about being able to swim again.

Here is the e-mail I sent Ben & Ken awaiting their agreement.

Dear Ben & Ken,

Hi. Next time I see you, please confirm that this will be OK with you.

I just cleared it with LA Fitness (downstairs in the building) that there will be no problem with your accompanying Gregory at the club when he goes swimming. You would NOT be able to work out but you WOULD be able to swim as well.

You will probably have to sign a waiver since you are not members of the club. My preference then is that if you swim or just sit by the side of the pool, you should have a swimsuit on. The club provides the towels.

Gregory loves to swim, the problem is his getting down there, managing his locker & lock, getting into his swim suit, showering is OK, getting dressed might need prompting, and then getting back to the condo. 

It would be great if you had a swim suit you could leave here and also a lock and anything you would need in the locker room like a hair brush or whatever you need personally. If you had a small bag to keep everything in it would make it easy to pop in the closet until your next visit. I will accompany the first time. Let me know if you have any questions.
