I hadn't thought about my awful PN feet walking to the water or on the bottom of the pool. I just thought about swimming. I definitely need to protect my feet, but I couldn't find those water shoes you mentioned. I clicked and looked, but no luck.
Also, do you have problems with swim suits? I'm 78, and I don't even look at them. I need something very comfortable that won't shame my grandchildren. Easy to get in and out of. Can any of you guide me?

Well, I can say that the Land end Water shoes are the best I've had, they just aren't cushy enough for running on...some walking to the pool might be ok...
as for suits Lands End and LL Bean have good suits... they usually are expensive, but there is a sale right now at Lands End...
In Lands end you can do their tugless tank- which is what I have (even though I am 22 I am very modest)-

Or if that is too hard you can do their Mix and Match seperate which are like tops and bottoms...

That might be easier to but on and off...
At LL Bean you can also get the Seperates:

And the full suits:

There are many options that are very modest, or have little skirts to cover legs...(especially in the seperates...)
Just my 2 cents...
Good luck!
