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.
Renie Each of us had are own lane , no sharing yet till swim team starts up in Oct. That will be interesting to see how it really works out with 2-5 per lane??
Temp dropped today to a chilly 66 hi and 42 low, so no to outdoor pools here.
Do you go to Nationals? I would like to meet you some time.
Hi Orca, so far, people are still braving the chill outdoors. The alleged "heated outdoor pool at 81degrees" was 74 yesterday. Temp outside only hit 69 with 12 mph winds. Not for me. Indoor pools getting a bit busier, but still quiet. it seems like the majority of swimmers would rather brave the cold outside than swim indoors for fear of COVID. It would've been great to meet you, but I don't attend nationals.
