I love swimming for that reason yeah. I’d do it a lot more if I had easier access to a pool. I had been looking into places near me to go to but it’s hard to find times that work for it. Might get a little easier once the kids are a little older and we could take them easier.
More importantly though, that’s not being the people in the joke. It might not feel like it, but there is a big difference between seeing someone struggling with a limitation that you also struggle with and offering something that helped you, and someone who has no idea what you’re going through pulling a suggestion out of their ass and making it sound easy. It hits different when your suggestion comes from a place of seeing a shared struggle and mentioning what helped you.

Not to be the people in the joke, but I’ve got arthritis too and for me the missing piece was swimming. Much lower impact and localized pressure.
