6 bucks to swim for one hour?
All these YMCA's I've been too are chargin that much to swim for the 1 hour adult lap swim. That's outrageous. They have a punch pass...20 visits for 50 bucks....which is semi reasonable, but when I'm not even in the city for 20 days then the rest is wasted. Why do they charge so much. It's not just Oklahoma, I've seen one in PA charge the same thing.

In years past (thank GOD) I traveled as much as 10 business days every month. Many of the places I traveled were off the beaten path and many were in major US Cities. I have worked out in 30 to 35 different pools all over the USA. Literally from Bangor, Maine to Miami, Florida, Tulsa, Ok, Billings, MT, Seattle, WA, Coeur d'Alene, ID and everywhere in between. I have paid anywhere from Zero up to $7.00 per swim and each time I was glad to have a place to swim (and ALWAYS felt welcome). Often I worked out with the local teams and the drop in fee was waived. Trust me; $6.00 is not to much to pay if you consider MarkMD’s post regarding hotel pools. But Tom, I didn't know that the Bates Motel had a pool. I thought they only had a shower. :p
Hey Mark:
I spent over 15 years in feeder air operations....and I spent many a night in motels most NORMAL folks wouldn't even think of spending the night....let alone going back time and time again....
Heck, one night down in New Orleans I had a knock at the door at 3 AM and thought it was one of our feeder air pilots that had reservation problems or aircraft problems....As it turned out it was some ___ ILB___ asking me if I wanted a "DATE".....With my rather demented sense of humor I told her, “No thanks….dates foul up my stomach” ….as I shut the door and went back to sleep….
Who's normal? Hush up Ralph....I'm normal...No you're not....you hush up to Mr. Moose....
