anywhere to lap swim at the resort?

[Aptermatt]

Hello!

I know Aulani doesn't have a traditional lap pool, but has anyone found anywhere to replicate?

Thanks!

If you have a watch that tracks your swim, you can definitely use the lagoon. The water is very calm there most of the time.

I can do that! Thank you!

I swim in the lagoons as they are usually very calm.

To change it up a little, start at one lagoon, swim across, exit and run to the next lagoon. Once you run out of lagoons, reverse.!

Masters swimmer here, another vote for lagoon.

Today was my first morning here and I used the lagoon! Great stuff and hope to be back there the next few mornings. Thanks all!

The lagoon! My favorite activity!

Military guys will run and swim across all the lagoons in the mornings end to end and repeat. You can swim/run one lagoon in a citcle by running on the beach when you get out back to start. Good workout and easy to do!

Run the lagoon sidewalk and cut out towrds street for more exercise at the marina.

I mentioned the same upthread. I started doing this when I saw a local triathlon group doing the loop. I asked if I could join and they said it was men only. Shouldn't have said that to an at the time 50 year-old, short woman. They told me to join them the following Friday.

We just got back and our boys are training for open water swims so they used the lagoon each day. They say it felt like about 200 yards across one way.

Congrats! You're raising your sons correctly!

My Garmin read the distance at about 250 yards but it's not always accurate in OWS.

Dang, is it that far? I was calling them 100s when I was there. To be clear, I'm not doubting you, because I'm notoriously bad at estimating open water (and yardage in golf). I was doing "400 IMs" there....that were 800 IMs?! I am retroactively hungry.

Also wanted to mention that Ala Moana Beach Park is a great swimmers location located right near Ala Moana Center, for anyone who is spending any days close to Waikiki.

200 fly is the best! Now if IMs didn't contain backstroke I probably would have joined you haha!
