Going to be in SLC later this week actually in Midvale. I was wondering if anyone familar with the area can recommend a place to swim in the mornings & possibly anyplace to use a stationary cycle. Prefer close by. I’ve swam at Stiener but that is too far away from Midvale for the time I’ll have available in the morning.
There are several places that provide swimming and stationary cycling. The Murray Recreation Center, Holladay Lion’s Recreation Center, and the Cottonwood Heights Recreation Center are probably the closest to Midvale. Here is some information for each of these locations.

I’ve always swam at Cottonwood Heights when in SLC. Check their website, but I believe open swim is 5 am to 7 am, as well as some other times. During winter, you’re limited to the indoor 25 yard pool, shallow lanes. Not the best, but it’s ok for a week or so. I don’t believe there’s anything better indoors. During the summer, they have a 50m outdoor pool.
Cottonwood Heights also has a weight and training room.
