Trying to gauge interest in a casual swimming meetup

Anyone interested in a casual weekend lap swim meetups?

I’ve been thinking about starting a low-pressure group for Saturday and/or Sunday mornings. Nothing competitive or structured — just a relaxed group getting together for an hour or two to swim, get some exercise in, and make the pool a little more social.

All experience levels welcome — whether you’re just starting out, getting back into swimming, or training regularly. The idea is simply to keep it approachable and a way to meet some new friends along the way. Could be as simple as reserving a couple lanes, swimming at our own pace, and hanging out a bit before or after, maybe grabbing a bite afterward.

I’m 33 and got into swimming within the last year. I’ve really enjoyed it and realized there are probably others in the same boat who want to swim more consistently but don’t necessarily want, or can’t commit to, the schedule/intensity of a masters program or formal club.

Likely looking at pools like William Wagner Aquatic Center or Brooks Street Pool in Oceanside, Alga Norte in Carlsbad, or the Ecke YMCA in Encinitas — all solid facilities with day-use access ($5–$10 entry, no membership required). Open to other nearby suggestions depending on where people are coming from.

If that sounds like something you’d be into, feel free to comment or message me directly.
