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

Does the Radisson pool still have the retractable roof?
Yes, it does, which is imho a really neat feature. One funny story about the retractable roof. Four or five years ago I swam the 400 free at the short course meters meet. About halfway through the 400 I heard this really weird sound - kind of like applause. I vaguely wondered if somebody was on the way to a record or something, which didn't seem very likely. I found out what had caused the noise when I finished the race. A Florida cloudburst had come up and rained noisily into the pool. They had tried to close the retractable roof but had found that it was stuck in the open position.
Yes, it has since been fixed.
