Swimming in Philly

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.

    Kirk- I've been awol for a while & just catching up with posts. If you're still looking, I know of two pools. Someone else mentioned Aquatic & Fitness center. This is where my team works out. Practice is Tues & Thurs 7:00 - 8:15 pm, and Sat 9:00 - 10:30 am. Usually 3200+ LCM. It's a straight shot up I-95 from the airport. Also, Germantown Academy has a masters workout on M-W-F from 7:30- 9:00 pm, usually 4000+ SCY. There's a $7 drop-in fee for GA. It's farther than Villanova, but with the later start time you have some options. PM me if you need more infor or directions. Dana
