I work at the pool, so I know when it is the quietest. I also have a key to the building, so I could swim when we are closed, but that could get me fired.

heh brilliant. Is the pool open to all, for the whole day?
I have from 6:30 -9am as the longest session available with lanes (weekdays only). Pretty decent population in the fast lane all through that. But.....they 'open' at 6:30 so earliest I have ever made it past reception and into pool is 6:40 - then I start work at 9 so have to be out of pool at 8:30 latest. I could probably squeeze a 5km into that but it would feel rushed and I couldn't cool down/steam room after properly
1st world problems I know. I save my 5ks for when I have a day off work!

Some managers have no sense of adventure. A good inside advantage.YosemiteSlamAK wrote: »I work at the pool, so I know when it is the quietest. I also have a key to the building, so I could swim when we are closed, but that could get me fired.
We have 6:30-9am M,W,F but I start work at 8am so really have to be out the front door by 7:30 to make work so less than an hour in the water. M & F they have a 6-7:30pm with one dbl lane. its either packed or empty no rhythm or reason. At least then I can get the full 90 minutes. Although it can be hard to do drills if you get a random paddler making slow circles. Which is why I like the Adult Swim Club - we have 90 minutes of structured drills and you get the full 90 since we follow the local youth swim club.I have from 6:30 -9am as the longest session available with lanes (weekdays only).

I work at an Olympic sized pool that runs lanes width wise, so up to 22 if we close our dive well. We are open to the public 5:30am - 9:30pm weekdays and 9am - 6pm weekends. There is always at least 3 public lanes for lap swimming, except during high school swim season.juliet3455 wrote: »Some managers have no sense of adventure. A good inside advantage.
We can swim, but never alone. If I want to swim after 9:30pm or before 4am (we have swim team 4-6am) I can as long as someone else is there on deck, we can use the pool responsibly. We had one guy jumping out of the rafters and that's a huge no no!

Wow some great swims going on.
I think I would find a 'lanes across' olympic pool so frustrating....do they ever put the ropes the 'right' way so people can enjoy the stretch of water Yosemite?
(I still miss my 33m pool which was pulled down and replaced nearby with 25m....and occasionally get to a 50m one)2 -
52 laps last night, 45 + 30 min in the water cardio class this morning. I'm really grateful for my pool's hours after reading some of your experiences here. My community center is big enough that there are always lap lanes open for swimming. Sometimes it might be only one lane (if the cardio class & lessons are going on), but generally, you can almost always get in a lane. I've had to circle with 4 or 5 only a handful of times. If I go midday on my days off, I can almost guarantee my own lane.1

We put in long course for swim teams a couple mornings a week, but the public does not get to swim long course very often.gentlygently wrote: »I think I would find a 'lanes across' olympic pool so frustrating....do they ever put the ropes the 'right' way so people can enjoy the stretch of water Yosemite?0 -
