I just made that decision this year. I started swimming with my kids when they were younger at a top notch competive pool. As you guessed it they grew up and I continued to drive to the pool every day by myself and liked it.
Suddenly time became an issue this summer along with the price of diesel so I only swam a couple of times the entire summer. I wised up and found a pool 3 minutes from my house and dropped my Y membership. It was a very hard decision but the correct one. I swim by myself and use the USMS workouts. At least now I get to swim a lot more and use a lot less time than the four hours it took at the other pool.
