Subject: RE: Open water swim Myrtle Beach/Murrells Inlet area I ended up finding a great pool/recreation center to swim in. The outdoor pools and the ocean and Murrells Inlet was probably too cold without a wetsuit, which I do not have yet. Also, in Murrellls Inlet there was a lot of jellyfish, perhaps it was just the time of the year ?
Anyway, if you are in the Myrtle Beach area and need to find a great place to work out...check out pepper geddings rec center. They have a 50 meter indoor pool, only they had 25 meters blocked off for laps and the other side for kids/water aerobics. They also had a great weight room, a cardio room (bikes/treadmills/ellipticals etc with tv's ), and just outside is several baseball fields and a football field (Doug Shaw Stadium, I think it is the home field for MB High School ) with a track. You can use all of the facilities for a measly 3.00....it was awesome. Here is their website, they have certain times for lap swimming, so call before you go. http://www.cityofmyrtlebeach.com/recreation/peppergeddings/index.ht...
Hope this helps. I have been to ther gyms in that area, golds, etc and they usually run 6-8 dollars a day and they only had weights and some treadmills, so this is a bargain.....
Hope this helps someone.
