Here's a well heated pools so we can practice our swim. We will lap swim the great War Memorial Pool Wednesday nights for a few weeks. I will give some free swim lessons from the side of the pool. Most people greatly improve their freestyle with just a few tips. Or you can just swim for fun and let others take my very informal class.

The details: We will swim from 7:30 to 8:30 PM. The War Memorial is walking distance from Harvard Sq. The pool is part of the Cambridge Rindge and Latin High School. Parking is difficult but it is possible to find street parking at a meter. The pool is deep and you should be able to swim 25 Feet without trouble. The pool costs $5.50. Please bring a regulation (normal) swim suite and a towel.

Before the swim I will be in the gym upstairs lifting weights. Feel free to join me.

If you can't find me ask the lifeguard where I am. (Ask for Geoff) I'm likely in the water.

Call me if you have any questions (I don't always answer my emails because my mail box is crammed.) [masked]. Geoff

Let's have fun!

      “ I enjoyed meeting Geoff and the other 2 guys, Stephen and Anuch. They were friendly and included me in the group. It was fun to swim with the group. Geoff gave us some helpful swimming tips. The pool itself is well-maintained and in great condition. We're fortunate to have a pool of this caliber in the area. I could see why he ends the group at 8:30pm even though the pool closes at 8:45. One your in the locker room you barely have time to shower and dress before they are rushing you out the door. Also, they do meet together afterwards, however, I didn't get to this. ”
    • “ I thought the pool was going to be outdoors. It's indoors, extremely clean and the people are chill. I think I found a new sport that doesn't kill my knees. ”
