Spring Training - The Swim

My job has a built-in holiday at the perfect time of year... exactly the time I'm about to crack from all the rain and need some sunshine, stat.  We always include a lot of training in our spring break, as well as a sunny destination.  This year, spring break took us to SoCal and Nevada, and in addition to some great training we also had some fantastic visits with friends (old and new), a rock concert, live comedy, and an incredible Cirque du Soleil show - MJ One, which I highly recommend!

If you know anything about me, it's that I love outdoor pools.  This trip allowed me to swim in two pools that are in my top-5 of pools I've swam in:  Alga Norte in Carlsbad, CA, and the Multigenerational Centre in Henderson, NV.  (Other top-5 pools include - in no particular order - Kitsilano Beach pool in Vancouver BC, Palm Desert Aquatic Centre in CA, and the Kihei Aquatic Centre in HI).

Alga Norte. The bonus of being on vacation is that
you can hit pools on their non-peak times!

We decided we could squeeze in one last
swim before our flight home.
