Why can't the Aquatic Center sauna look like this?
Usually after I work out in the gym, I’ll head into the pool area to go into the steam room and whirlpool…possibly the sauna. The steam room clears up any allergies I have and helps me breathe better and the whirlpool helps with any muscle pains I have from going to Aikido three times a week and working out on off days. I’m not really sure why I go into the sauna afterwards because by the time I get in there, I’m burning hot and can only stand being in there for a few minutes…not enough time to work up a good sweat. I’m sure it’s good for the skin, but I sweat doing other crap anyway.
The other day, I went into the steam room, whirlpool, then played water basketball by myself in the pool to cool down before going in the sauna. Walking in the sauna, I felt like I could stay in there longer than usual so I looked at my watch and told myself I’d get out after 10 minutes. A few people come in and the place is running out of seats. 7 minutes in, I’m starting to get uncomfortable with the heat but have a good sweat going. 8 minutes in, I found myself in a painful conversation about football. I couldn’t breathe well enough to maintain conversation and I don’t have enough football knowledge for the conversation anyway…and I’m sure the guy I’m talking to wants to talk longer than the 2 minutes I have left in there.
