sabina, good for you!
i love the pool, and i just started doing lengths again this summer. i swam outdoors (to get sun and exercise), and i felt fantastic. once the fall hours start at the indoor pool (the 9 pm swim is at the perfect time for me, i'm typically bored if i'm by myself at that time), i hope to be in the pool again.
you're right, it is relaxing. plus many pool complexes have the added treat of a sauna and/or hot pool for after your exercises!
if you live in a moderately large city, may i suggest changing the pools you attend every once in a while. a change in instructors can liven up the class. (and also keep your newly-trained muscles from becoming complacent)
(i used to lifeguard, and the same music played week after week after week started to grate a bit ... your mileage may vary)
congratulations on finding an activity that suits you.
