11/19 swim set - SCAQ (Redondo Beach)
Today...I visited SCAQ at their Redondo Beach location! They have practices here M, W, and I believe Sunday. Weekdays are 7:30-8:30PM.
Coach: ...actually I didn't get her name. =p
Team Size: pretty good! There were more than 5 lanes with averaging 2-3 swimmers per lane. Good variety of speeds for all swim levels.
Facilities: Outdoor pool (has gutters), locker room with showers. Very nice pool (recently renovated). Parking was plentiful and there is a short walk to the pool.
Workout:
300 swim
6 x 150 on the 2:30 (50 kick, 100 swim)
50 easy
3 x 200 free on the 2:45 (descending 5 seconds for each 200), 50 easy after each 200 on the 1:00
3 x 150 free on the 1:50 (descending 5 seconds for each 200), 50 easy after each 150 on the :55
3 x 100 free on the 1:35 (descending 5 seconds for each 200), 50 easy after each 200 on the :50
50 easy
100 easy
Time: 55 min
Total: 3200 yards
Final thoughts: Good workouts, decently friendly. Unfortunately, I won't be able to say yes though because their schedule doesn't work well with mine. That and I'd be paying around $55/month just for 3 workouts a week. But otherwise, they are a great option! Especially if you can go to other SCAQ pool workouts. I'm limited to certain locations and times so it doesn't work for me.
