I finally found an outdoor pool at a nearby gym that also has an indoor pool. I'm so close to signing up, yet nervous. OTOH, I swam in mid-March, when all gyms had to close that evening. Our state was #2 in the nation with COVID cases. We are at an all time low, yet I still feel apprehensive. BTW, the pool is not busy, despite a heat wave all summer, which makes me think that people are fearful. (and fitness center confirmed that)
Would love to hear from swimmers who've been swimming in outdoor/indoor pools. I know the data about chlorine killing the virus, but would feel better knowing swimmers have stayed COVID free.
pwb, if this outdoor pool had those guidelines, I would feel very safe. It's a 6 lane lap pool attached to the kids' pool (kids not allowed in lap lanes) but I am concerned about kids peeing and snotting in the water. Locker rooms are open, there are no reserve times b/c it's not that busy. Masks are required in and out of the pool.
