This place is huge! It has a mediocre pool, but the facility in whole is probably better than SDRC. It has way more weights and fitness equipment. It has raquetball, tennis courts, a nice little snack bar, a licensed masseuse and physical therapist, coed and gender only hot tubs and steam rooms. If I lived in Ogden, I would most definitely be a member there. But it's about 25 minutes further north and that's the opposite direction of my work.
But I love SDRC and especially the underwater lights. Swimming at OAC was a little depressing as the place was not well lit and I really enjoy swimming in a bright atmosphere. Plus I like the option of being able to swim at 4:30am if I'm crazy enough to get up that early, but 5:15am is perfect for me. I'm still not a very natural morning person.
Being that I was on Goody's turf, I just was there for the ride and did whatever he was going to do. I didn't even keep track of my yards. Mostly because he showed me his cool toy. He has a lap counter that he puts on his finger and just taps it every time he does a 50. We did 100 laps to get 5000 yards which consisted of about 300 yards kicking, the rest was free with some backstroke thrown in. I wasn't really feeling too energetic and just did zombie free most of the time.
He gave me some pointers on my backstroke and took some video for me. I was actually pretty pleased with how it looked. I would have thought it was way worse than it was. Granted its far from perfect, but not bad. It was good talking with Goody and getting to know him a little better. Haven't had much opportunity at BL to talk much, so it was cool to have a laid back swim session this morning to socialize a little instead of just crank out yards.
5000 yards total
