RE: Swimming in Italy

I just recently spent 3 months in Italy. I trained at a pool that had a masters team but didn't join it for multiple reasons. Masters swimming is HUGE in Italy. There is a meet every weekend with over 1,000 participants. They don't offer all events at every meet for that reason.

If you can find a lap pool (25m or 50m) there is a 90% chance that it has a masters team. If you can tell me what location you will be in, Italy is still not small, I can reach out to my Italian masters swimmer friends to see if they have some suggestions.

Go to this link. When it presents you a map, click on the individual pools (pins) and it gives you info on Masters teams, hours, cost, etc. Bookmark it. It’s a good tool to have when traveling.

Also, if you find different circumstances than what are advertised…there is an easy process for updating the info provided on the website.
