So I just had a very depressing half hour of calling every hotel with an indoor pool in my area to see if you can pay to swim there if you are not a guest, with no after no... I have a membership to 24 Hour Fitness, but their pool is in lanes plus the "deep end" is one CORNER of the pool which dips down to 5'3". My FinFolk tail will be here by the 31st and that is not exactly where I want to film my first swim! Hence the hotel calling. After a dozen no's, though, I got a delightful answer from the Holiday Inn. The guy at the front desk said "nah, you don't have to pay! If its just one or two people, come in out!"
exciting, yes, but the real test will be when I show up next week, lol! It is easy for front desk guy to say yes... But we will see what the manger says when I am there! I almost feel as though I should have taped the call! But if they do let me swim, I will be booking Holiday Inn in the future, lol!
Those of you who swim in hotel pools in winter, tell me... Was it hard to find a pool that takes people other than guests? What chains are they?
