Do you know of any hotels that have workout appropriate pools on site? I'm not talking about the infamous "olympic sized" pools advertised, but real live 25 yard or longer pools.
I am aware of two:
1. Grove Park Inn in Asheville NC (not cheap!)
2. Washington Athletic Club in Seattle WA (not public!)
Maybe others could contribute. I am sure there must be some more out there.
Thanks

The International Drive YMCA, which is the Y next to the Radisson is a nice facility. It got its start as the Justus Aquatic Center, and I believe it was at that time a part of the Radisson. It's a fast pool, and there were national records set there in swim meets. It wasn't making it financially, however, and came very close to being razed. Eventually a deal was worked out with the YMCA - I think they paid $1 plus agreed to be responsible for maintenance and allow use by Radisson guests.
There is a very nice short course meters meet there in October which is held in the diving well. This August the Orlando Masters will have a long course meet there.
There are three pools there - the diving well, the 50 meter competition pool, and a 25 yard training pool, which is kept very warm.
