These are the two pools I use:

VAC drop in rate is around $5 (IIRC).


2. YWCA - 25 meter - 25 meter - opens at 6:00 am on weekdays

YWCA non-member drop in rate:
Drop-in rate is $16.00 for Adults, $10.00 for Seniors & Students and $8.00 if you come with a member. Photo identification is required for all drop-ins.

Who are you asking? I used to do the early morning thing at the YWCA. But they started scheduling water aerobics (or as I call it, jumping up and down in water) during the prime time slots for early morning swimmers. The classes take up half the pool, leaving only 2 lanes for lap swimming... slow, medium, ahhh, no lane for fast people, so I had to bow out :P Now I go during work hours :) I'll be going to the VAC tomorrow morning around 8 ish.

and anyone else- group swim with the out of towner on Thursday morning 7am? I think the VAC is the best option.

Should be some good times
