I'm retired military. I swim at the local Air Force Base, which has an indoor pool open year round, and an outdoor pool open in the summer. Both with 25 yard lap lanes. We've had some covid restrictions, but nothing like the public has been putting up with, and they have all been lifted for several months now.
The reason I'm posting this, is because I have talked to other swimmers, and military Veterans/spouses/dependents/DOD workers/etc. These folks have access to the base, and often shop there for groceries, gas, etc. I'm always surprised to hear that some of these folks don't even realize the pools are there. And one fellow older gentleman told me he had been swimming at the Y for years.
Just putting it out there, in case some of you have access to a military base. It might be worth checking out, to see if they have a pool or not. And if they do, chances are pretty good they have a state of the art gym, and an indoor running track as well. I've been going there for years, and just always thought it was general knowledge. But apparently it's not. And if you can get on base, these facilities are available to you.
