Today I bought a 6 month pass for the swimming pool round the corner. It's the cheapest membership option, and you have to be a member. It feels a bit of a gamble to spend £150 on a swimming pass, as I haven't found a way to prevent the chlorine from irritating the little bit of rash I have, other than to wait a couple of weeks between swim sessions, and I don't want to risk aggravating it.
Swimming at a relaxed pace for half an hour feels so good though. It eases all my aches and pains out, and my muscles feel relaxed and heavy. Afterwards, food tastes really good too, which I don't feel often at the moment.
I tried taping over the rash using Nexcare absolute waterproof tape to keep it dry. The pharmacist thought it might work. I don't know whether it kept the rash dry, or whether it was the sticking agent, but it still made the rash worse. Next time I will just coat myself in Aveeno before I go in.
