I need to find someplace where I can just swim, swim, swim for a week in Jan or Feb. Kind of like a vacation, but not. 50m pool, warm. But where? Are there any 50m pools in Nor/So Cal where I could do 2hrs/day? Maybe even 2x per day? I suppose I could go to a swim camp someplace? Any hotels have 50m pools ;-)
Why this interest?
Well, bike... no problem for a 5hr 1/2IM. Run... making progress, and confident I'll get there. But I'm really getting concerned about my swimming. I thought it would be a challenge, but still do-able. Hmmph. After plenty of TI and masters instruction, spread over 4 months, and now practice 3 days/wk for the last 5 weeks, I'm just not getting it. I can do 25s, and a barely a 50 before I'm gassed. How is this possible when my aerobic conditioning is decent on the bike/run?
But I need to extend that into 1.2 miles! I'm thinking that in February, it's sink 'er swim time. Period. If I can't do, say, 1000 yards nonstop without a problem, then I'm in genuine trouble and likely to not make it by June. So, around then, I want to take a week someplace where I can just swim, swim, swim. Obviously, the 25yd pool in 45 degree darkness isn't enough!
Ideas about where to go?
