For those who have been swimming in local pools

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.

  • Today I just made my 1st "reservations" for swims. 3 next week and 3 the following week. They are at 2 hour intervals with swim time of 1 1/2 hour skas to sanitize the area for the next swimmers. No locker room, showers or towels. Wow! Having 90 minutes would be awesome. Our community pools are doing 45 minute swim time w/15 minutes for cleaning. That can work for me in a pinch, but I'd prefer 60-75 minutes. Fortunately, I do have access to a LA Fitness, which, while being limited to 1 swimmer per lane and NOT having reservations, is relatively unused.
