My dream vacation

[susandennis]

One of these survey things I'm doing for $$ asked me yesterday what my dream, if-money-were-no-object vacation would be. I am not a vacation person. These days I'm not even a travel for any reason person. So I didn't have an answer all ready and I had to think about it and then I found it.

My dream vacation would be to find 2 or 3 or maybe 4 spectacular lap swimming pools and go swim in each. I'd like a luxury hotel at or near the pool with fine dining. I'd spend a day or two at each and then move on to the next.

I actually even Googled great lap pools last night and found that this really isn't a thing. I found one article that nailed the concept but the one pool that looked most interesting (actually in Vancouver, BC) is a membership only pool not open to the public.

I don't want amazing recreational pools. I want a proper lap pool with lanes and lines and no children. They don't need to be quite this spectacular but if this were a real thing, I'd be booking tickets now.



I need an old timey travel agent who specializes in lap swimming. I'm guessing that even in the old days when travel agents were kings, there was not such a thing.

But, I'm keeping my eyes open and maybe someday maybe...

You've seen the pool at Bondi Beach in Australia, I assume?

I have and that one very nearly has me buying an airplane ticket except ... soooooooooooooo far. And, I cannot figure out how the lap swimming works. All the pictures I see show people playing around in the pool. I see the lanes, but I don't see lap swimming.

I've been to New Zealand twice and so I know what torture the journey is but, yes, Bondi Icebergs is ohhhh soooo tempting.

If that pool in the image isn't real, what is it?
Like, an architects rendition of something to-be?
It's amazing!!!
