Notes
I found a pool here in Taiwan within walking distance of my hotel! Even better is that it has 2 lanes that are 50 meters! I can't even believe it. There was a giant hot tub type pool with individual cut outs with massage jets, a 25 meter (6 lane) pool, and a 50 meter (2 extra wide lane) pool.
I overslept a bit but was determined to at least get a little work in and check the facility out. The facility is awesome...other than the weird swimmers that were there. One guy was practicing diving...from the shallow end...and made the loudest clapping sound when he hit the water. It was absolutely terrible and looked very painful to watch. My swim was pretty good in the extra long 50m pool, that is when I wasn't dodging the guy doing handstand walks or the guy who was doing like 10 meters of breaststroke and then standing up and walking 10 meters and repeating. Seriously, go to the 25 meter pool if you're not going to use the full length!
