Keep in swimmer's shape with the endless pool

If swimming's your thing, here's something that might interest you (if you can afford it): The endless pool. The endless pool is kind of like a treadmill for swimmers -- you pick the speed you want to swim at, and the water resistance will keep you from reaching either end of the pool. Water pours in one end, so while it seems like your swimming somewhere, you're actually staying in place. So you can keep swimming to your heart's content -- no more pesky turning around.

The pool is pretty small, so it's not good for pool parties (darn) but it's great if you want to keep in shape. Unfortunately, at over $19,000, I can see myself sticking to the pool at my gym for the time being at least.
