the 25 yard lane
The pool opens from sunrise to sunset. When I get to it at 7:30 in the morning, a group of campers are there (from 7 to 8am), leads by a female coach, who told me the 25 yard spot to swim with the lane on the bottom – just perfect!
I did my mile in the main part of the pool, and moved to the smaller section by the cabanas after they left.

William H. Kerdyk Sr. Biltmore Tennis Center,
Or
Coral Gables city courts: decent fancility with hard surface. Hotel guest gets the first hour free.
It felt a bit funny with the hard court, that the ball bounces so high and quickly. We managed an hour play on Court 5: 6-5 on serve when time ran out.
All around us, players are serious, both young and old. The father and son who came after us, said he is no longer his son’s coach because he couldn’t beat him any more. The boy is 15 and dreams of playing the junior circuit.
William H. Kerdyk Sr. (1946-2007) served as a Coral Gables City Commissioner for 28 years.
