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.
I was hoping when schools started back that many kids/adults would not not going to pools. Well - it seems "remote learning" will be the norm for a while now. Maybe wnen they are at home the gym/pools will be more open and prepared for me to chance it once again.
FWIW, in our school district, "remote learning" means real time, active participation with attendance taken. It is NOT a "learn at your pace and schedule" thing. They are online from 8:30AM-3:30PM non-stop. (Of course, they are in teh water from 5-7, and again from 4:30-6:00!)
