Re swimming: After a long break I got back into freestyle lap swimming a few years ago using the “Total Immersion”/Terry Laughlin guided lessons. I basically threw away what I considered to be my previous form, rebuilt my stroke from scratch, and really enjoyed the process! I’m much more efficient and my thought processes are less frantic so swimming long sets is a bit more meditative and “centered” not to mention a great full body workout. Plus headphone technology has made leaps and bounds in waterproofing so if you want to listen to music or podcasts you can now do so fairly easily and inexpensively.
Membership fees for a dedicated facility run about $45-50/month, about the same as most gyms and they usually have some rarely used (great condition) treadmills and weight machines if you want to mix it up occasionally.
