Ridgway was open this morning after being closed for maintenance the last week. I said hi to the masters swimmers, including Warren, Deb and Leslie J. Then I looked at the water. Yech! It is green, and it did not look like any pool that I would enjoy swimming in this morning. I trekked over to Finley and checked in and the water appeared crystal clear, inviting and it is very comfortable. The gutter system at Finley is more efficient and the pool is deeper overall. The lap swim area is deep at both walls. Finley may be a bit warmer but I think ther is only 1-2 degrees difference overall on any given day. The water gets roiling at Ridgway, especially when there are a large group of masters working out. I have actually sen whitecaps during sprinting and butterfly sets. It is like swimming in chop, good for open water training but it can be dangerous when there are 5-6 masters swimmers in each lane. Lane awareness is important and encouraged.
