So I was talking to someone about pools to swim at earlier, especially ones that won't suddenly become unavailable due to uncontrollable circumstances like weather (indoor pools). Then it came time for me to drive over to the CC for my daily swim, and then I get there, and I see the message I forgot all about... "Closed 12/22/08 to 1/5/09"....
:badday:
:censor:
CC keeps the pool too warm anyway.
I looked at the YMCA near me... they keep their pools at 84-85 (indoor) and 81-82 (outdoor). Isn't that a bit warm? I looked on the satellite and their outdoor pool is like three lanes wide too.
So, in this thread, I beseech all of you to help me find the best, most available, most accommodating place to swim in all of the valley. Any quick ideas? Anyone from around here know the good places? Any from other regions ever do a meet here and know a good spot?
I have my eye on the Santa Clara International Swim Center right now. 'Smatter of fact, I read up on it and decided to take a drive out there. It's an amazing facility.
This is one of the "storied" swim centers and a great facility, as well. I remember swimming there when in college and when I came back to Masters' swimming, I swam my first Masters' Nationals there. Not up to par with Stanford, but certainly a heckuva lot more convenient to San Jose.
