Comments:
It was a beautiful sunny 65F SWF day, and the FMAC was closed because the forecasted high temperature did not go up to 70F. I did some errands and headed south towards the San Carlos Community pool to renew my lapsed annual membership as an alternative to FMAC along with the uncertain time-frame for FGCU to reopen.
I swam occasionally at the San Carlos Community Pool during late 2011 and early 2012 before joining FGCU Aquatic Center with the 50 LCM facility. This 8 lane facility is managed by the Lee County Recreation and the aquatic staff is Star Certified versus Red Cross. Their cold weather policy is far more liberal, and lap swimming is available at earlier hours. The main drawbacks are a 3'6" shallow end, warm water, and the facility is closed on Sunday and Monday. The lifeguards and staff are the most professional in the area and the water chemistry is always in great condition.
