I was daydreaming about vacation possibilities today. Now more than ever before in my life an ideal vacation definitely includes getting in some decent swimming and a little bit of rejuvinating excercise.
I saw an article in one of my swimming magazines an thought I might find something like this in a post here. But no such luck. Even though I know the topic of decent hotel pools have come up.
How do you build swimming into your vacations in a fun way? Any great swimming/active vacations you have been on? What about if you're the solo swimmer in the family?
Just having time to swim in the hotel pool in the morning sounds kind-of eh. I'm talking about making swimming part of the vacation. Making it somehow a special pampering. A beautiful facility, a new environment, healthy relaxation, etc.
Any suggestions, recommendations, fun stories?
Snorkling Adventures? Spa Retreats? Fantastic Swim Meets and Camps? Water Parks? Island getaways?
Personally, I have been daydreaming about the adult version of "camp". The spa getaway. Wake up with a morning stretch. Light Healthy Breakfast. While my husband goes for a dirt bike ride, I hit the pool. We meet up, relax for a bit, take in the scenery. Have some lunch. Take an afternoon class together. Take a nap. Get a massage and pedicure. Get pampered with a very yummy dinner. etc, etc.
Although I haven't found the ideal place for this vacation it certainly builds the swimming in... and doesn't make my hisband have to swim as well.
Michelle,
I'm planning on making a vacation out of the Bonaire EcoSwim in Nov. We'll start the vacation off with my race and then just play and relax for the rest of the trip.
My hubby is a non-swimmer, but is content to snorkel and explore while I enjoy swims along the beach, and we both love scuba diving and other outdoor activities. I'm hoping to have an experience similar to the one it sounds like you had at Sandals. Plus, because of the race, there are some pretty good discounts.
If you're interested, check out the link under the events section of the forum. By the way, at which Sandals resort did you stay?
