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.
My area YMCA has re-opened 4 of 8 local centers, so I'll be able to reserve a lane for 30 minutes at a time. One swimmer per lane.
Throughout the summer, I've been OWS with a Tri club at a lake about half an hour away once a week, and an outdoor 25y pool 4 days a week.
That swim club closes this week though. Today I was, for a while, the only one in the pool. Got out, dried off, went to the car, drove away, still no one else in the pool. Outdoor swims have one week to go up here.
