Hello, El Segundo!!

SCAQ is now offering a 10:00 am Saturday and Sunday workout at the BRAND NEW Aquatics Center in El Segundo. They started the workouts there last weekend but I missed them due to previous plans. I was super excited to try out a brand new facility. I’ve been looking forward to this swim all week.

As you can see below, the sky was a bit on the moody side. It didn’t stop people from showing up - my lane had six people and other lanes were just as crowded.

The facility is amazing. The primary pool is set up so it is easily divided into two 25 meter lengths. While I was there, SCAQ was on one side with a few lanes available to the public, and the other side was set up for the Coastal Masters Water Polo club. There is also a smaller pool that has a few swim lanes and a shallow area for kiddos. I’m sure this pool will be a summertime hit.

The workout:

  • 400 warm-up

  • 2 rounds: 200, 150, 100, 50 freestyle

  • 10 x 50 freestyle

  • 6 x 50 kick

  • 100 cool down
