Darn, too bad you don't have a car. My favorite pool to swim in the world is the Santa Clara International Swim Center. It's about 17 miles from Los Altos Hills.

Failing that, there's a bunch of pools in Mountain View, the google capital/poor country cousin of Los Altos Hills.

I googled LAH pools and a bunch in Mountain View showed up. You can see which is closest to where you'll be.

Good luck!

Aww shoot I have heard of that place, but didn't know it was in the area. Don't know my way around town. I am perusing US Masters to see what I can find. Thanks.

In Mountain View, Eagle pool is good. But, maybe further than some other place you can locate. I'll be in town late next week, likely swim there once or twice (or Stanford, if they allow guests).

Oooh boy the Stanford pool! Trip isn't until the end of September, but just getting my recon going. Thanks

If you want to come up to San Mateo (about 25 minutes north of San Mateo) I can guest pass you to my pool at the San Mateo Athletic Center:

It's a really nice outdoor pool - 50m on weekends, 25yds on weekdays.

They have a masters team if you want to swim with them too, I've heard everyone on it is really nice. Also they have like 25 practices per week or something ridiculous like that so there's pretty much a practice going on any time you'd like to swim.

Holy smokes thank you that is incredibly gracious. Who knows maybe I need to keep my car....that facility is crazy beautiful.

I say keep the car and do a little swimming pool touring. There are some great ones up there...

I might just do that, but we have so much packed into the long weekend I probably have just enough time to do earliest Masters group and get back for breakfast. Don't wanna hold up the tour guide!

If you're going to be in the southern portion of Los Altos Hills, then Fremont High School pool might be closest. It's at 1283 Sunnyvale-Saratoga Road
Sunnyvale, CA 94087

It really helps to have a car in that area. There's an Enterprise office practically every mile or so on/near El Camino, so you can get a car for ~$35/day.

While you are in the area, in addition to the swims consider the following:

Bike over to Woodside and climb Kings Mtn. Rd. or Old La Honda up to Skyline (great, redwood-lined switchbacks). Descend down 84 to get back (starts right at Alice's Restaurant).

Run the trails at Rancho in Los Altos.

Thanks all for the awesome ideas! Titan I won't have a bike or the time.....just early a.m. swims. And running......well.....if and that's a big if....if you ever see me running it will be out of a burning house! I'm a swim dweeb only now.

If you're 6'1"ish I am happy to lend you a bike. PM me if you're interested (if you drive stick, I could probably lend you a car too). I live in Menlo Park.

It would be the least I could do from all the swimming advice I have stolen from you over the years.

Well that is mighty gracious of you I truly appreciate it. Oddly I am 6'1" on the button. On a different trip I'd love to bring my bike, but I just don't have time for that this trip. I'd like to meet up for a 5 a.m.(PST since I'm EST....will be going cuckoo by 130am PST as I wake at 430!) Masters swim and be back home by 630-7 as they have some big long days planned for us. But THANK you. And I'm glad some of my swimbabbling might have helped you at some point....just passing along what other people have been nice enough to pass on to me.

Ok well if you're ever back in this neck of the woods wanting to do some climbing in the redwoods, the offer stands. Enjoy your trip and the view of a new black line!
