Anyone - I am heading on a travel trip to Rockaway, New Jersey and I would love to see if there is some way I can get a couple of workouts in while I am there and enjoy every bit of low altitude training I can get. Does anyone know of a place to go for either morning or evening workouts that may be fairly close to, or in Rockaway?? Thanks in advance! Rob Nasser rnasser@qwest.net

Rob Nasser rnasser@qwest.net Check gsmswim.org for places to swim and then, check mapquest to see if the location is near Rockaway. There are plenty of places from what I hear when I do Jersey meets.

    There are a lot of teams listed at the Garden State Masters website, but I don't have that much time to track down which is geographically reasonable. I was hoping for some local insight on this one. Also... I do not have a YMCA membership though it looks like I wish I had, seeing all of the YMCA pools out there. Rob

    If you have a YMCA membership, your best choice is probably Lakeland Hills YMCA in Mountain Lakes. You can visit their website at: www.lakelandhillsymca.com
  • Rob, Have you tried contacting Chris McGiffin the NJ LMSC chair? He should be able to get you in touch with the someone in the Rockaway area.
