Belmont Pool Closed
"On Thursday, January 10th, the City of Long Beach closed the pool indefinitely after a structural analysis found that the pool was “seismically unsafe,” meaning that even a moderate earthquake would cause severe damage to the facility."
I agree with Allen. It might get up to the 60's or even low 70's in December, but in the morning it can be cold. Not the cold you have back East, but certainly chilly. Every day during the winter at the Rose Bowl Aquatic Center in Pasadena ( an hour from Long Beach) where I workout at 5:30 AM it is in the low 30's on the pool deck. And as Allen says, to just get in and do a workout in those temps is not a problem. Heck, I've done that at Snowmass, Colorado in 5 degrees! But if it is also raining or even if it isn''t, if there is a delay for some reason just as you are getting on the blocks, I can guarantee you it will be uncomfortable AND you probably will not swim well.
Long Beach needs an indoor competition pool!
