Was hoping somebody could help me out. I'm in Milwaukee for work and want to get as swim in. I'm staying at the Hilton downtown (555 W Wisconsin Ave). Does anybody know of a pool within walking distance? I took the amtrak in to avoid the awesome (not really) drive from Chicago to Milwaukee so I am without wheels. Thanks.
Check with the Hilton as several Downtown hotels have agreements with the Wisconsin Athletic Club (WAC). WAC members can swim at the Milw Athletic Club Pool that is on Broadway and Mason street. I'm not aware of any public pool right downtown.
The DVD assumes little-to-no experience with competitive swimming and starts off in the pool citing the need to build confidence in a controlled environment.
Most of us belong to groups and there will always be pressure to keep up. It may be underlying or it may be outright, but no doubt, that pressure to go faster is always there.
Once you caught your breath, it occurred to you that finishing even a short triathlon might be harder than you thought. After a few "laps" you thought, "I can't believe I'm so out of shape."
