0425 - Manhattan Plaza Health Club

NYC is a challenging and expensive place for a visiting swimmer to get in a workout, but this is one place that should be visited. I had to finagle my way in a bit, as their free day pass is really intended for residents trying out the place, but my semi-smooth-talking was rewarded. There's something about a pool that is both indoors and outdoors that makes it a bit more exotic. The cool water and swimmers who knew how to read and appropriately get into their 'speed of lane' was a treat.
