Is there a list of 50 meter indoor or outdoor pools nationwide. I am looking for one someehere in th emiddle of the US. It would be really great if lane lines were used too. Thanks, Josh
  • Recsplex West of St louis is nice. You could probably google and get lap swim times there. UIPUI and Indy is a fun town.

    I will contact Jayhawk by email. I don't want to leave the thread hanging so I'll fill in the info I left out of my original post. I'm in Bettendorf, IA. We have a stable group of 5 swimmers who swim together 4 to 5 days a week. Primarily morning swims at about 3500 yards. We swim in a standard 25 yard pool. I wanted to put together a two day overnight trip to a 50 LCM pool for a few workouts just for fun and as a get-a-way for us. We have access to a personal airplane so distances up to 500 miles would not be a problem. It sounds like Jayhawk has many options in the Kansas City/Lawrence area. That would be a great trip. I tried the swimming guide site linked above but it didn't address my needs. The perfect destination would be an indoor (taking bad weather out of the equation) 50 LCM pool that has lane lines and lots of open lap swim times. Lane lines may be a luxury we can do without if need be. I have never swam in a long course pool. I'm excited to give it a try. Thanks, Josh:)
  • However, the person who asked the question said their group has an airplane available to them, so the driving distance doesn't really enter into the equation as critically. Exactly: We have access to a personal airplane so distances up to 500 miles would not be a problem. Every place I mentioned fits that criterion. Maybe you should have read the thread, Craig, before writing such a flippant response.

    Why do you say that? Because some of the pools you mentioned are over 8 hr drives from the Quad Cities.
