Regular 97 Long Island | Subject: RE: Suffolk County Swim Training? Hicksville has 50 meter lanes. You just have to get there early because they remove the lane ropes for the kids in the afternoon. Holtsville keeps a twenty-five meter lane open for laps all day. The weather is getting nice so you can always do open water. I live on the North shore and swim at West Meadow, Port Jeff, and Ceder Beach. |

Member 29 NY | Subject: RE: Suffolk County Swim Training? I've heard St. Joe's in Patchogue has a tri-club now... not sure if you have to belong to the club to swim there. Otherwise, check your local High or Middle Schools. Some towns that have a school pool also have an adult swim program... |

Regular 63 Long Island | Subject: RE: Suffolk County Swim Training? I looked everywhere to try to find a place to swim. The High School was only open 1 day a week and the Y in Holtsville was expensive. I ended up at a condo complex with a pool where my buddy lives. I think I waited to look to start training for the swim. I need to swim 500 yards in July and right now I'm sucking wind after 100. |

Veteran 249 Long Island, NY | Subject: RE: Suffolk County Swim Training? Hinch45 just keep at it. You'll be amazed at how fast you could build your swim endurance. i remember struggling to swim 50 meters one day and then a couple of days later I was swimming a few hundred meters without stuggling. |

Veteran 249 Long Island, NY | Subject: RE: Suffolk County Swim Training? Now that the summer is here I think Sunken Meadow is a great place to swim at in Suffolk County. I wish I lived closer. You always see other triathletes out in the water swimming, and an added bonus is you could get a good run in at Sunken Meadow. Cardiac Hill is always fun to run up.....Once |

Master 1704 Long Island, NY | Subject: RE: Suffolk County Swim Training? I think Runner's Edge has a group that meets at Sunken Meadow on Saturday mornings. Call Runner's Edge and just ask if/when they are doing group swim. I'm pretty sure anybody can join them. |

Member 45 NY | Subject: RE: Suffolk County Swim Training? I just started myself and joined the ymca in bay shore since its real close to my job. I have found my swimming to be improving rapidly. First day i hadda rest after 25m. 2.5 weeks later and i can swim 400m. I figure in 3 months ill either be a good swimmer or ripped. It kicks my butt..... either result is just fine.....just keep at it. |

| Expert 1030 Miller Place, Long Island | Subject: RE: Suffolk County Swim Training? FYI: cedar beach is a great place to swim especially early in the morning when there are very few sunbathers there. There are also some great bike training rodes in the area, so a swim bike brick is convenient. By the way, from the first buoy to the last is approx. 400-450 yards. Check this out: http://www.usatf.org/routes/view.asp?rID=143757 The first buoy to the last lines up almost perfectly with the parking lot. I used the parking lot to get the swim distance. |

Must have read my mind, as this is my plan tomorrow! I'm off work, sitter wants to take our son 4 hours early and wife won't be home until 5pm! It's like the Perfect Storm of training days! Just hope I don't get arrested if I have to ask someone to help with my wetsuit zipper! |
Might actually do bike repeats all the way up Pipe Stave Hollow from Cedar Beach to Echo. Or just tool along North Country. |
