Dev, I just got back from Cancun and saw zero cyclists mid-week. Very congested in the hotel zone. On the weekends the local cycling clubs were out in big pelotons with a sag car directly behind them with lights flashing. About forty five minutes south in Playa del Carmen, I drove by what looked like a mountain bike park just before Xcaret.

Safe travels,
Don

While the resort you're staying at is not in the Zona Hotelera, it's still on one of the main drags in Cancun and basically across the street from the airport. It's super congested around there. No way you'd want to be riding around there.

Your second question is a joke right? At last check there's a beautiful body of water right outside your hotel. :-)

Don't know much about pool swims nearby. How big are the pools at the Moon Palace? I stayed at the Live Aqua Cancun last April and their main pool was probably 200 feet long. There were a few people swimming laps early morning. The pool will obviously get super crowded once the "normal" people get up and moving but early morning there's nobody in the pools.

Dev, it's a swim camp. If you're doing 2 a days for a week, you should be pretty shelled, and one of your goals (if you are doing the camp to get faster, as opposed to an excuse to go to Mexico and out of the cold) should be to recover as much as possible between swims so you can maintain intensity in the workouts that you are there to do. I wouldn't bother riding. The beaches down there are supposed to be beautiful, if you do need to do something else in addition to the workouts, I'd take a mask, snorkel and fins and do some snorkelling. rent a hobie catamaran for an afternoon and go sailing. stuff like that.

Favourite Swim Sets:

2020 National Masters Champion - M50-54 - 50m Butterfly

Dammit, and here I was trying to sneak in some other sports during a swim camp and got told by the real fish what I am supposed to do on a swim camp (I've never actually done an organized one, just my own ones at the London Aquatic Center over a 4 day stretch. You're right, if I do swim 5-8K per day, what will likely happen is that I'll be in the hotel either catching up with the guys at work or posting on ST and recovering for the next session.

There is a 50m pool at the hotel to answer GMAN's question. From what I gather the club has it for sessions



Does not really look that deep



Hopefully they have some lanes set up!
