Most of our team workouts are held at Hickey pool. Hickey is a seven lane, 25 yard pool. Lockers in Hickey Gym are available for checkout by UCD Triathlon members.
Our team also has occasional events (such as swim tutorial sessions, or our home race in April) at Schaal Aquatic Center. Schaal is used primarily by UCD's intercollegiate sports teams. The pool is 65 meters by 25 yards with a movable bulkhead, allowing use as both a short course (25 yards) or long course (50 meters) pool.
During spring and summer, some open water workouts will be organized. These workouts will usually take place at Lake Berryessa and will be announced on the workout calendar.
Our Winter 2007 swimming schedule is:
Organized swim sets will be provided at most swim workouts, but completion of the sets is optional. A couple of lanes will always be set aside for stroke technique work with the coach or general lap swimming. Swim sets will scale to the ability of the athlete, making them suitable for complete novice swimmers, experienced competitive swimmers, and everyone in between.
