A whole drama has unfolded locally regarding the construction / remodel of the local aquatic center, but that is a different story. The result is that the local indoor lap pool will close for construction and remodel November 27, 2019 and won't reopen until Spring 2021 (not a typo, freaking 2021).
The closest indoor lap pool is 74 miles away.
Logistically and time wise, I can make that trip only once per week. With that trip I get a 3-4 hour window to swim.
I am looking for some ideas on how to structure workouts effectively.
About me: I am triathlete, so my focus is on front crawl and Olympic (1500 meters) and Half Iron (1950 meters) distance. Normally, I swim 2-3 times a week for 1:20 or so.
Before you ask.
1. No, I cannot invest $20,000 in a swim spa.
2. No, I really can't make more than one trip.
3. We have winter here, so there are zero year round outdoor pools.
4. Likewise, with winter, swimming open water is not really an option until late spring at the earliest.
ForceDJ, thank you for replying. Those are some interesting idea. You are correct, that timeline is crazy, but the issue is budgeting one. The bids all came in high, so they are using the 2020 operating budget to add to the construction budget.
I am just not sure how to structure a workout. I can wing it, but was seeing if anyone had some thoughts.
