I did a 12,500 yard swim in an indoor 2-lane 25 yard gym pool back in March to train for some o/w swims. It was pretty brutal!
After that, I was able to squeeze in time at the outside pool (11,200) which was much more palatable.
We had storms almost every weekend when I was trying to get in some swims at Barton Springs, an outside, spring-fed, pool-type (but not really) place. I did that later for a 4.25 mile swim.
Doing the actual o/w swims outside in Arizona last week was almost magical.
