Summer is nearly over, how many times did you go swimming this year?

Not as much as I wish I had. I went to the beach for a week and swim in my in-laws pool for a few days. in Philly we have the most public pools per capita and there's one right up the street from me but I didn't get a chance to go this year.
Shit.
All right, I got one week left.
At least now I've got somewhat of an excuse. Up until last january I lived 5 minutes away from the beach.

Went swimming at a hotel pool in July, and a water park earlier this month. I got a room booked at a resort next month, and the place has a couple pools and some slides. It will still be good swimming weather here in Phoenix for a little while.
I too live in SoCal and I was told by my realtor that most people who want to buy homes here, don't want a pool. Too much money to maintain. California is too damn expensive.
Sad story: as a carer for a severely mentally ill person I've been awarded a free pass to all local swimming pools, but I'm not sure when I'll be able to spend the time to collect it. If I ever collect it, I'm not sure I'll ever be able to spend some time swimming. My life revolves around a delightful, entrancing, intelligent and articulate adult offspring who is often very ill and very clingy.
My wife, on the other hand, regularly walks to the beach and swims in the sea in summer. She's 72, more than ten years my senior. I fucking love that woman.
I don't know. I guess it's a combination of things. My sister had moved out for a couple years; the vines on our fence withered and reduced our privacy; I don't take pleasure in anything anymore; etc.
But beyond my family, several other friends of mine who own pools haven't been swimming much either. Or at the very least, whenever we hang out we no longer have pool parties. I have no idea why that is.
Twice I think. I live in upstate NY.
Once the week before the 4th of July when it was like 110 outside, then on the 4th.

My parents own a pool so I went about a dozen times. Just got a puppy and she loved it so I was happy with that.
Like five or six?
My one regret this summer is not getting to the beach more. Only went once and I live a couple hours away. It will be warm enough to swim until October here but there's something about the refreshing ocean when it's like 90 out.
Now I'm wondering if I should brave it for Labor Day...

About six, I think. The fact that I can give that specific an estimate is a testament to how little I've swum this year. lol Half of those times were in the ocean during a family vacation to Delaware earlier this month. I got to swim a lot as a kid but these days it often feels like a hassle, even if it's just using our neighbor's pool. This is definitely among the two or three least-swimmy summers I've ever had, though that's partially due to said neighbor's pool being in and out of commission.
I am from Spain living in Victoria, BC, Canada, a city surrounded by lakes and the ocean. I have not gone swimming even once. It´s too fucking cold. I´m visiting my family in two weeks and I´m planning on swimming in pools, rivers, the Atlantic and the Mediterranean. It´s going to be two entire weeks of swimming and eating real food, I can´t wait.
Big swimmer here, in So Cal, 0 times. It was hot, but not in a good blue sky/happy summer days way. It was toxic grey skies, humid, ugly. I stayed indoors as much as possible. Lots of indoor workouts or waiting until after 7pm to do outdoor cardio.
I'd like to go more but everything is on fire or so fucking smokey you can't be outside for very long.
Bring on the godamn winter.

Once. First time in years. Wasn't too confident but it was a salt water lake so I could just float for a while before swimming properly. Plus I was with two girls I'd met travelling so didn't want to chicken out. Loved it to the point I'm thinking of joining a nearby gym for the pool.
Zero. Not a huge fan, and pools / beaches are a shitshow mid summer. I usually only do it once every few years when the mood strikes at a hotel I'm currently at.
Damn, you guys should learn how already.
For me? About 3-4 times a week, but it isn't really due to being summer as it's at my gym that has swimming pools.
Five times, all of them at the swimming hall. I don't particularly like the sea/ocean water, nor do I like the beach.
Just freaking once With all the commuting I just want to rest my ass and play or watch something.
Love swimming and have a lake 15min bike ride..but alas.

Exactly this.
Still zero if you include "did you go in a pool or lake to cool yourself".
I should but I don't really have the time at the moment. I'm not opposed to learning. Just never have.
