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.
Have you looked into LA Fitness or Lifetime Fitness if you have them near you? Many times, one of those will have small pools. Where do you live?
The hotel is a good idea. Even if they don't have a lap pool, per se, you can get a swim tether and attach it somewhere. It's not fun, but it serves it's purpose for getting movement and technique.
