This is probably a bit of a weird question, but never mind. I was going to ask it a few months ago but felt too silly. However I now feel a little more at ease with people here and I don't think you'd laugh at me for asking this.
I am currently dieting and trying to lose weight. I've lost 19lbs already (nearly one and a half stones) but I still have a couple of stones to lose before I'm at a healthy weight again. I haven't been swimming in years (since I was about thirteen, so about ten years ago) due to my lack of self confidence re: my body. But I was really hoping to go swimming next month when we're at DLRP.
I am very self-conscious (I look bad in a swimming costume, and that is not an exaggeration) and I was just wondering if you guys think the Sequoia Lodge pool is a good place for me to start swimming again. I thought it would be a good place to "break the ice" with swimming again as it's away from home and I'm unlikely to see anyone I know. The thing is, I'm still self-conscious, even with strangers.
I guess what I'm asking is this... am I likely to feel embarrassed there or are there plenty of places to "hide"? What is the lighting like? Is the pool usually busy and full of young, slim things? I don't really know what I'm asking... I just wondered what sort of atmosphere there was at the pool. Are there likely to be lots of spectators, etc.
Sorry for the REALLY weird question. I'm embarrassed.
