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.
Most of you seem to have it pretty good. My outdoor swim club closes this Sunday, 9/13. My open water swims ended last Tuesday. And that is 2 weeks longer than normal this year. Both would normally shut down at end of Aug. in upstate NY. I now have a choice of 5 YMCA indoor pools within a reasonable drive, but you can only reserve a lane for 30 minutes at a time, and on weekdays only. No lanes are available on Sat. or Sun.
