Swim #3: Sheraton Hotel, Fort Lauderdale

Monday, April 19, 2010.  Most hotel pools are tiny, overchlorinated, and indoors.  But at the Sheraton Hotel in Fort Lauderdale -- now THIS is a pool.  This is a photo from their website: http://www.starwoodhotels.com/sheraton/property/overview/index.html?propertyID=664  

The pool is huge, outdoors, and right on the beach.  I got up early in the morning - we were there for just one night and had a flight to catch - but I had a delightful swim.  I have a feeling that the pool is full of children during the height of the day, and the bar implies a pool full of young partyers through the evening, but at 7 am, I was in my own little heaven.  Two thumbs up!

Swim #2: Eastpointe Country Club

April, 2010:  Remember the rules -- I may have had many swims between #1 and #2, but they only count when the location is different! 

Swim #2 is at Eastpointe Country Club in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.  This is a sad week, as we close my in-laws' house for good.  We've spent a week here every year since before Benjamin was born, and the memories are endless.   This photo is from one of those trips.

Mornings at Eastpointe were occupied with lap swims and visits to the health club, and afternoons filled with pool activities: races, diving for stones, handstand competitions, and just lying in the sun.  I would often complain that the pool was too warm for lap swimming - but on this, our last visit, oddly, the heater was broken and the temperature was just right.
