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.
MY1st swim since march today. I had my own lane and 3 other splashers joined in later.
I swam a total of 1,000 yards of free - back - br - fly drill.
Felt good but, sore shoulders. Let's see how tomorrow feels?
Finally you got to swim! So happy for you. 3 splashers shared with you? I thought sharing a lane was not permitted under the guidelines. I haven't seen anyone sharing a lane indoors yet.
BTW, my outdoor pool is STILL open and true to form, usually September is grossly hot and humid. Not this year, temps in the high 40's, or 50's at night, pool temp is 77. Which would be ok, if it warmed up outside, but we have hazy skies, wind and temps barely reaching 74 by 4:00 PM. Thankfully, there is also an indoor pool, but I am envious of those few that are swimming outside.
