Originally posted by MikeD1 Question for LB and anyone else who wants to chime in: We'll be heading to FL in mid-Nov to get away from our 2nd " Avoid Wisconsin" winter. I may not have much access to pool down there, other than our 13yrd oblong Condo pool (unheated). I do now own a full wetsuit. I was thinking of try to OWS maybe 3 times a week or so working on endurance and form, maybe some sort of beeper to help me do intervals? Also could do 3 times a week or so in the pool using an ankle strap to the ladder to swim in place. Any suggestions how I can maximize gains with these givens? Best time for 100 yards is around 1:40. Any input is appreciated!

How literal is that "Avoid Wisconsin Winter"? Is this a few weeks or several months?

Probably 5-6 months. Last year we came back in mid-May.
Dude.....find a pool!!
Where in FL?

Every city in Florida I just googled had a YMCA.......and I'm sure there are master programs down there since it's a big USA swimming state.  High schools and community colleges don't have pools there?  There are no fitness centers with pools?  It's not the moon, it's Florida.

The OP might want to check the 'Florida' forum here on BT and ask about the specific area where they're going to be staying.

I'm in Sarasota, which coincidently is the headquarters for USA Masters Swimming.  There are two outdoor 50M pools within five miles of my house that both host masters groups.  One's run by the YMCA and the other is run by the county.  I swim at the county pool and pay a $2 daily senior (55+) rate.  The 'drop in' fee for masters is $7/day.

 Within 15 miles there's another municipal 50M pool and probably a dozen 25 yd pools, including an indoor pool at one of the YMCA's.  There are a lot of semi-private country clubs/golf/tennis resorts with 25yd pools that charge either monthly or daily fees.  Even some of the private clubs will do month-to-month swimming memberships for temporary residents, i.e., snowbirds.

HTH,

Mark

The off season should be just that – a time to rest your body, to rehabilitate injury, and to plan ahead on how to improve performance and prevent injury in the season to come.

I quickly browsed an article in Men's Health that talked about doing a triathlon, and how it wasn't really that hard. With a "tsk!" I quickly turned the page while thinking, "Yeah, right!"

The off-season is the best time to fine tune your skills and prepare yourself for the next season. It is also time for you to gain some strength and get a little rest after a long season of training.

If you develop a strategy for the off-season, you can go into the next season stronger than you ended the past season.
