Pools along I-40/I-44

This is probably going to sounds strange, but does anybody know of any really awesome pools along I-40 between Albuquerque and Oklahoma City, or I-44 between Oklahoma City and St. Louis? I'm relocating from New Mexico to Washington, DC and don't have friends/family along that part of the route, so I figure I may as well try to make one of my overnight stops a city with a spectacular pool to swim in. Thanks!
  • Hi, yes, there is the aquatic center at the oklahoma city community college. I hear it's a pretty good facility and they have masters swimmers that practice in the mornings there (sans coach) www.okccc.edu/.../aquatic.html this is the link to the pool site and the address is at the bottom. http://maps.google.com/ if you go to google maps and type in the full address at the top you''ll see where it is in relation to I-44. I don't think it's too far. hope this helps. good luck and have a good move! J

I'm from St. Louis, and there are lots of pools to swim in, mostly rec pools if you don't need a team atmosphere. And of course, a masters team if you need group motivation: St. Louis Area Masters: 50 Gay Ave (Sept-May) / 111 Brentwood Blvd (Jun-Aug) Clayton, Missouri Contacts: Mike Nordmann (314) 727-7946 I know Mike. We raced together in the old days. Give him a call and see when workout times are. Tell him I said hello. Good luck in your travels.
