Climbed—very carefully—into the pool this morning after my weights and rowing workout. Made sure to get stinky hot before I took the icy plunge. It’s always confronting, that first immersion after a long break. The worst is the dividing line between wet and dry. It feels like you’re being cut in half.
I didn’t stay in long. Just ten minutes - enough to cool down and clean out the basket in this bad boy. A robot I had on demo. My old sucky pool vac has died so I’m looking at replacing it with a newer model.
It freaks me out a little that you’ve got an electrical device muntering around under water, but apparently it’s only 12 volts.
Hasn’t killed me yet, so I guess we’ll see. It does do a good clean.
I've recently become a pool owner, and we have a robot just like this. It works an absolute treat, although the shape of the pool floor does mean it tends to show off and do a lot of wheelies.
Pool vac robot. Sheer genius. By far the biggest drawback to owning a pool was the constant maintenance, the quest to keep the water clear, as opposed to green and murky. The small risk of electrocution? Manageable.
I've been in for the past 2 months but not the last 3 weeks. The roof is being replaced and the house is surrounded by scaff. And they put a leg of the scaff on the skimmer box so I cannot clean the pool. Just keep bombing it with chlorine n(for which someone will get a bill). I have an 18 and a 20 year old pool cleaner but they can be quite temperamental.
Do you know the temperature of the water? As a year round ocean swimmer I am after chortling material...(I find 14-15C is about ice cream headache territory and time for a swim cap)
Hubby has been in our pool on & off since the end of September! Even I (less frequently admittedly) have been in since middle of last month. Hints from an old girl...walk in just up to your nads, splash water all over, continue to walk in. The pain only lasts a moment.
and the temperature this week in Melbourne ... Min 9 Max 15 enjoy your summer

Oh snap, we have the same pool robot. Our pool could really use a resurface though.
As long as you're nice to the robot, the robot will be nice to you.

Just jump in and fully submerge, you milksop. It’s the less painful option anyway.
Black belt?? Maybe sook belt.
