Hartford, CT - Pool recommendations

Triathlon Forum

I am staying in Hartford, just east of the river, next week for Cyclocross nationals. Does anyone have any recommendations for a pool that I can drop in for a few workouts? Ideally early in the morning…

Thanks!

Yes, Cornerstone will let you purchase a pass ($24) that you can use for any three consecutive days. Pool is consistently at 79. Should take you 15-20 to get there, but going back east after your swim could take longer, depending on morning traffic on 84. Where are you (OP) staying?

any ymca should be good, in particular the new britain ymca (my hometown Y). it may be a trip though, but worth it on historical significance - it was where dribbling for basketball was created as a rule. yes the building is quite old. pool is warm!

Thanks, $24 for 3 days seems worthwhile. My initial findings on their website showed $15 for a single day!

I am staying at the Comfort Inn, East Hartford. Just off of 84 and Simmons.
