I have a triathlete friend who will be spending time around Newark, NJ soon. His hotel pool is very small. Does anyone have any more practical suggestions for a visitor?
Thanks
if he has a car, head out to Berkeley Heights (~25 minutes) and train with the Berkeley Masters (www.berkeleyaquatic.org/.../masters.htm). Their indoor pool is kind of crummy, but THE PEOPLE are AWESOME and I think they have access to a long course pool in the summer.
If he's got a YMCA membership and car, the pool at the Summit YMCA is solid (www.nostrawmen.com/.../Summit-Area-YMCA-Seals-Swim-Team-Pool.jpg).
I've swum at the indoor pool in Cranford (Centennial Pool) about 15 minutes from EWR and it was fine (better than Berkeley, not as nice as Summit), but I believe that city's outdoor pool (Orange Avenue Pool) is long course.
