Subject: RE: Where do you swim train is South Brevard? Uh I hit the poll button to soon... Hey swampliquor, I swim at the Suntree YMCA (Wickham) as my "home" pool and Cocoa Y pool. My kids are on the Y swim team so we are often there. Also swam at the Gleason pool, I've ridden my bike there do a swim then ride into work. Palm Bay pool, only when were there for a birthday parties! I also swim at Wickham Park, south lake is better or the two. Length is ~ 80 yards along the beach and a circle lap is ~250 yards total with normal water levels. I also swim down in Melbourne Beach at the pier or friends house just south of there. From Melbo Beach pier (Pineappleman) to the south Manatee no wake sign its a 1/4 mile, to the north sign its 3/8 mile. Not sure why but I don't OW swim over by the EG library at all (HF swim course area)
I've swam in the ocean along the beaches, it's pretty cool hanging out there past the breakers with the surfers, but current can be a betch at times.
Last year I did a lot of swimming in the 10 yard long pool in my backyard because I lacked motivation on getting out. FYI, some of us local BT'ers meet for Sat rides, we plan on starting up again in Feb. We'll do TTs on South Tropical Trail, longer rides from Suntree Revolutions bike shop up to Cocoa on River Rd/Rockledge Dr and others in the area if you're interested in joining us. We'll also be planning on heading over to Clermont ~ once a month to do some good rides along some of the courses that involve Sugarloaf and other hills, nothing crazy!
