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 have swum 10-12 times over the past month at my local indoor pool. They have done a great job in clearly marking everything; one-way corridors, limited time in the change room, spray down everything you touch (including the basket that you keep your stuff in at the end of your designated lane).
We have a big facility, so it's been a little easier to maintain physical distance. I still feel more at risk going to a grocery store or liquor store compared to going to my local indoor pool.
