These are all such great writers. I love the vicarious feeling of knowing these community members' experiences, familiar and vulnerable in a way never spoken face to face. Thanks for this project.
Great article. I did water aerobics at that pool and had the same initial thoughts, but immediately understood why these women love this activity so much. As a person with no real sense of rhythm and no dominant side I am a terrible dancer. In the pool, I’m Baryshnakov! I truly admire these woman and was so happy to experience the joy they shared with me in the water.
Lesa, this is a wonderful story, so authentic and charming. I do the Ives Pool newsletter and would love to feature your article in an upcoming newsletter if you're willing! Let me know: renata@sonic.net.
Hi Lesa- you are always a great writer, and I'm so happy to hear of this incredible passion and what it has done for you. See you on the protest lines!

So good! So well written and so encouraging And kudos to the stellar Ives staff and instructors 👏👍
What a great piece! I’ve been the random guy dragged into the pool by my wife. Grew to love it, but waiting for warmer weather before I get back in.
Very nicely done. Great descriptions. Makes me want to get in the water.
Looking around, there is plenty of water out there.
Oh, wait, there is a mud puddle out front that used to be my driveway. Will give it a shot.
Love this! Great writer! I am a devoted lap swimmer myself, but have gone to some water aerobics. Quite the workout! Your description was spot on 😂
