Where to Swim/ Bike in Columbus?
Quote | Reply
I travel to Columbus several times a year for work and I now that I'm pretty dialed into my training, I won't "just run" while I am on the road. I'm staying right downtown and will be working mostly at Polaris and Easton. I'm mostly concerned with finding a pool and I'll bring my bike along with my trainer and just set up in the Hotel gym. Unless someone knows of a kickass cycling studio I could check out.

osu pool but need a member. it's really nice. there's a downtown Y but i don't know much about it.
there's lifetime fitness at easton which has a nice pool.

lots of ride options while it's warm. especially from westerville/new albany area where you're working. or dublin.
614cycle on the corner of king and northwest is a cool studio.
also in new albany check out the new cycling/zwift style studio at veloscience. geoff, the owner, is a good dude.

lots of run options too. super easy from downtown.

The downtown Y pool is, max, 20 yards. Push off one end, glide, push off the other.

Which downtown hotel are you at? Some are more of a fitness "closet" than fitness room. Miles of bike paths for riding.

No coasting in running and no crying in baseball

There's a 25-yard pool at the Columbus aquatics center in the Short North - https://www.columbus.gov/...bus-Aquatics-Center/ It's a city pool so no frills. Other downtown pools are at the Columbus Athletic Club and the YWCA.

The city of Westerville community center has a 25-yard pool and you can buy a guest pass as a non resident. That would probably be my first pick if I was in your situation.

The Westerville lap pool is very nice (https://www.westerville.org/...ies/community-center). I have heard the Worthington Community Center, not far from Polaris (https://www.worthington.org/index.aspx?NID=227) is very nice too but have not been there; looks like you can get a monthly or daily pass. There is also a Y pool in Gahanna, not far from Easton.

I have had some people tell me CycleBar in Easton is pretty good.
