I may be spending a couple days in Atlanta next week and wanted to coordinate a hotel within range of swimming and work. I should be working in the downtown area (couple miles north of I 20 on I 75/85).
* Early morning or evening workouts would be fine.
* I don't mind freestyle workouts but I like to have some stroke mixed in
* I'm used to 3.5K to 5K
* I prefer a masters group but I'll swim solo if necessary
* Inexpensive is good
The Georgia Masters website is helpful but it was hard to tell which pool would fit me best. At least there are lots of options. Can anyone in the Atlanta area point me in the right direction?
When I visit Atlanta, I pay a fee to Swim Atlanta and have no problem with it. The coaches have been very accommodating and I appreciate the individual help they have given me. I was a former GAJA swimmer and enjoy visiting friends at Dynamo, Emory, and Swim Atlanta. I have paid fees and appreciate the chance to work out with different groups when traveling. I am very thankful when I can practice for free, but do not expect a free coached practice.
Beautiful LCM workout this morning. Missed you Kristen! Maybe next week?!
Hopefully next week! We got in from Hilton Head at about 8 p.m. last night, and had a lot of stuff to take care of last night and this morning. An early day today wouldn't have cut it. I'll bet it was great out there today, though -- what awesome weather!
I'm not from Atlanta, but I took a week-long class there a few years ago, and had a great couple of swims at GA Tech with the Atlanta Rainbow Trout. There were lots of people there of all different abilities, so it was easy to find a lane that was just rignt. Everybody was super friendly, and I didn't even pay a fee. I totally recommend it.
And, of course, swimming in an Olympic pool was thrilling!
Thanks Heidi and Emory swimmers! Had a great time at both pools and really enjoyed the experience. Elaine, if I go again sometime, I'll try to stay further south and visit your pool also.
Paul - it was great meeting you, too! After the hot Pace pool this week, Elaine's pool might just be considered cool!
The pool I was going to take him to is not the noodler hot tub in our community; it's a 78-79 degree fast 25 meter pool. :banana:
Peter, come on down and check it out sometime!
