However, for me to be able to get to water, I have to get the kids up significantly earlier than usual, get breakfast into them, get them and me bathed and dressed early, and get to the Y very early with all their stuff. They only have childcare in the morning, and it ends before noon. I have to lift the kids into the van, drive there - and driving is quite painful, and it's across town - then get them out, carry my swimming bag and purse and their diaper bag while dragging Jamie along and getting Maggie to walk with me and get them into the building and checked into childcare. Then I go get changed, get into the pool, and start swimming laps. Partway through the childcare people will come to the pool and tell me to come back to childcare because Jamie's had his midmorning messy diaper, so I'll have to climb out, dry off, wrap up and put my sandals on, and go down there and change him, then come back and get back into the pool. There won't be time for much swimming, and then when I get back out the towel and my shoes will already be all wet.
Then I get to do the whole drag them and all the bags back to the car, and drive home, then carry them into the house and get them their lunch.

Not easier.
