It's the largest facility, with the smallest pool A TWO LANE POOL? You're right. That is dumb. They paid all that money to put the thing in. You'd think they'd go with a 6 lane one.... A 24 hr gym? Hahaha, I'm trying to picture that around here. Nope, I can't. |

I think the one a LC is about 26 degrees... bearable, the one at the uni (the indoor one) I think I saw at about 29 degrees Go for the university one.... More guys to, um, "inspire" you.
I also have access to an outdoor pool near the harbour (a bit of a drive), the LC outdoor pool (not heated) in summer only, the Uni outdoor pool and the Epping Pool which is also outdoors. You just pay a fee to use the pool each time you turn up so... I guess its up to you how often you want to go... Thats the pools within access to home... well driving distance thats not ridiculous...  Got it in one... although still not much talent |

Ice = cold = not gonna happen. I'd be perfectly willing to apply a heat pack though. LOL CARP! did you hear my scream as I submerged my stinkin' foot into an ice bath? yikes, yikes, yikes! LOL probably not the right thing to do to reduce inflammation |

I think the one a LC is about 26 degrees... bearable, the one at the uni (the indoor one) I think I saw at about 29 degrees This is the only pool within about an hour's drive (one-way). (Have I mentioned lately that I need to move?) On the plus side, not many people want to brave the salty, slimy water. So I usually get a lane to myself. Or, if I wait 10 min, I get one then. Swimming isn't a big activity around here.
I also have access to an outdoor pool near the harbour (a bit of a drive), the LC outdoor pool (not heated) in summer only, the Uni outdoor pool and the Epping Pool which is also outdoors. You just pay a fee to use the pool each time you turn up so... I guess its up to you how often you want to go... Thats the pools within access to home... well driving distance thats not ridiculous... Thats a bonus... whever I get a lane to myself (very very rare) I treasure the moment... so special and all... |

Champion 26509 Sydney | Subject: RE: They Who Shall Not Be Named (Twisnibbins) VII D001 - 2007-12-09 3:07 PM Hm. Should I sign up for the mentor program (as a mentee)... Or just hang out in the Challenge forum? So many decisions. (And starting in January, much less free time, too....) Of course, I could always just take comeandgetit out, and worry about that other stuff later. LOL hehe if I volunteer to be a mentor you could come play with me... then again that might not work... |

It's the largest facility, with the smallest pool I couldn't believe it when I went there the first time - I was so psyched because it's super close to my house, right on the bike trail, and brand new I was soooo disappointed when I saw the pool. It was orignially supposed to have been a 6 lane - i wonder what the h3ll happened I swam there once! bad experience, I still have a scar |
