susandennisMy plan was Ballard Pool at 11. At 9:30, I looked up the pool schedule to see if I wanted to do something this weekend, and I saw there was a 10 am deep end class at Greenlake. WTF. So I hopped in the car and made a beeline for Greenlake.
Good class but I don't think I'll be going back there. Parking is a bitch. But mainly it was packed... to the gills... The pool is smaller than the others and there were two classes going on at the same time - old people in the shallow end and semi-old people in the deep end. The shallow end was full. The deep end was not quite that bad (but I did overhear a regular say that usually there are a lot more people in the deep end class). They kicked us all out immediately after class and the shower and locker room was a madhouse.
I think that will be my emergency pool. Also the instructor was meh. The instructor for the shallow end group, however, was hilarious. About my age and full of energy.
On the way home I stopped by two more pools that I had not been to but that are on my radar... Mainly I wanted to check out the access and parking. Both seem fine. Options.
