Brian Stack started a thread a few months ago about where to swim in Philadelphia: forums.usms.org/showthread.php
There's lots of good info there, so using that as a starting point, any suggestions on where I might swim? I'll be in town for a few days later this month for work. I'll be staying near the airport and working at the Boeing plant. After work would probably be best. I will have a car. My typical workouts are around 5,000 yards and I hold around 1:015-1:10/100 pace (SCY) just to give you an idea.

I think this is the best pool in Philly to swim in:

It's 50M which is nice, and you can get a guest pass to the club. Last time I was there I didn't research it far enough ahead so I didn't swim with the Masters group. However, the pool was pretty empty every time I went. It needed a paint job but that was a small price to pay for the chance to swim LCM, in my opinion.
If you find a better pool than that in Philly, let me know. Unfortunately it's pretty far from the airport, but it is easy to access from I-95. If you're planning on swimming 5000 yds (meters!), then I'd say it would be worth the drive.
