The main problem is someone has to drive me to the pool and pick me up, I need help with my walker and it is difficult to get in and out of the car. The pools have various schedules and I can't always get there when times are available. Sometime I get there and they are crowded. Walking the pool is basically the only exercise I can do with the lest amount of pain. I like the idea of a spa, but I don't think it would work for walking. I thank you for your suggestion.

I would call around to the spa dealers (we used Spa Kingdom) to see what is available. I have seen some swim spas that have a harness to keep you in place, others are free flowing, there may be similar options for walking exercises. I have also seen treadmills designed for under water use (this was a newscast), so a deeper spa and a treadmill might solve all of your problems.
