Coming out of retirement soon - Endless Pool purchase

After years of dreaming and coaxing Cathi, we finally made the jump and purchased the Endless Pool that I've been configuring, designing, and refining until it was just what we wanted.  It also took several years of saving, and investing to be able to get the funds to buy this thing with cash.

Some consolations I had to make with Cathi in order to proceed was:

• No more gun purchases (except ammo)
• No more long-distance table tennis competitions (US Nationals and US Open)
• I had to commit to a training program, with milestone swims leading up to a 2022 English Channel swim attempt, when I turn 50 and will make the English Channel Half Century Club (More on that in a future post)

For those that are considering an endless pool, here are the details of what I ordered:

I'm expecting that it will take approximately 4-6 weeks for them to assemble all these items into a shipping crate, and ship it. Which is fine.

I have lots of friends who are willing to come over and help me put this thing together. Which is good cause I'm not the best mechanic and when I get hot and frustrated, I get nasty, end up breaking stuff and my language eventually isn't very clean. So it's good to get some help and some peer-pressure to keep things family friendly in the back yard.

I'll be sure to post some time-lapse video of the pool assembly and some explanations in case someone needs it as a reference for their own pool.

Stay tuned....
