I am going to be in New Orleans Feb 4-10 and want to find the best YMCA to go to from the Marriott Downtown...Will probably swim 2-3 times.

    I went to undergrad in New Orleans. As far as downtown or in the quarter, there is really nothing. The best pools are at the schools uptown. Try out Loyola or Tulane. Loyola's might be a little more accessible. There is also the Isadore Newman School, which is also uptown (Jefferson Ave I think!). Here are links to their sites. www.loyno.edu/.../hours.html E-mail Kristi Salvaggio (kristi@loyno.edu) to get info. If you have a problem with Loyola, PM me and I will see if they will do anything since I am an alum and I practically lived in that pool. www.reilycenter.com/aquatics.asp I don't really have a contact a Reily, but their facility is nice. Isadore Newman is only open during Master's workouts Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from 5:30-7:00 am. www.nolaswimming.com/facilities.html There is a pool at UNO (which is way over on the lake), but last I heard, it was closed due to damage, and from the Marriot, that is a LONG haul. Let me know how it goes!
