I travel a lot and have found the "place to swim" section really frustrating. Many of the listings are way out of date, and emails and phone calls go unanswered. This past week I tried to swim at the Wheaton Sports Center in Wheaton IL, only to be told that the masters hadn't started yet and they would not sell me a single day pass. Is there anywhere else I can go to get current info on where to swim? I'm heading to Williamsport, PA this coming week and so far have found nothing. :badday:
Will you have a car in Williamsport? You could try Lock Haven University, but it is about 30 min drive. There's info here on the Zimmerli Pool:

My sister went there, and I'm from not too far away. I remember seeing the pool when I visited, nothing great, but I'm sure could do the trick.
You could also try Susquehanna Univ, a bit further away (about an hour):

Also, there's a Y right in Williamsport:

Heck, if you have more time, I'd venture to State College and see how the Penn State pools are.
Try this site. State College is 60 miles from Williamsport. Although Penn State has a stellar masters program, I don't think that it is worth the drive if you have a car in Williamsport.

Thanks for the site. Looks pretty good. Generally, if I'm traveling, it's for business, so traveling more than 15 minutes to find a pool is not workable. And in some cases, I don't have a car.
