I was recently skiing in Colorado (late season trip to A-Basin). I stayed in a hotel with a 50-foot long outdoor pool. In four days, I managed two workouts where I swam about 120 laps (2000 yards) each time. Lots of turns! Anyone else with a similar experience? In breaststroke, after my pullout, it took me only 3-4 strokes to complete the lap. How much effort do folks make to find regulation pools while traveling? When I was in Whistler, I actually found a town rec center that had a 25-meter pool.
Last June I was at a resort in northern Vermont and it had a 2 lane, 50ft indoor pool. I swam it each morning, alone, not a soul there at 7 AM. At least the lane markings made it look like a lap pool, but it was annoying doing such short laps.
Next October I'm going to a conference at the Dulles Hyatt Regency in Washington DC. I saw a fitness center on the map within walking distance, at Worldgate Center. Does anyone know if that has a pool better than the hotels?
