Swimming laps during off-season

Postby jm1229 » Sun Feb 26, 2012 7:59 pm

Wondering where people swim laps while the Lantana pools are closed. Any cheap memberships out there?

Not very clean? I do believe you have exceptional standards, but entire teams of kids with concerned parents (such as LAC) have their kids swim in there. In the years my kid has been in LAC, she has not contracted a single water-borne disease except for swimmer's ear, which has nothing to do with pool cleanness.

Of course, like in all public swimming pools, you should wear slops in the public areas, but I advocate that people do that even in gyms like Lifetime Fitness. Which, of course, is one of the alternatives for indoor swimming, but it's not $3 per pop, it's substantially more.

LISD is so scared of issues with contaminated water they chlorinate to absurd levels. Swimwear don't last well, that' s my only concern.

If you have any definitive proof that there are issues with it being "not very clean", such as a health inspector's report or any concrete facts, I'd love to see it. I accept that it may not be to the standard that some individual parents would keep their house, but that is not the standard a public venue can be measured against.

Most individual parents as stated above, only achieve that level of cleanliness, with a maid service, and claim they do it themselves. I do laps in a 200 gallon cattle trough, (don't get to go far) but I have to net out the hay first. How's that for cleanliness?
But I look pretty cool to the bovines in my speedo and "lap" goggles. :lol:

i swim laps with goggles, and they make the pool very clear underwater making everything visible.
