...and maybe a new martial arts class.
I need to find a heated and/or indoor pool because I am applying for a job that has a timed swim requirement and I need to practice. Where is the closest public pool that fits this description and/or a pool at a private fitness facility that doesn't charge exorbitant prices?
I would prefer a pool that has a scheduled "adult swim" time because I don't like kids. I am leaning away from the Y in Destin because of the kids and their prices seem rather steep to me.
As for martial arts classes I am picky. I figure if I am paying to learn then I shouldn't have to be annoyed by outside factors. I was taking judo but my instructor moved to a different area. I do NOT want to take a class that includes:
kids, excluding older teens in some cases
other females with a "tee hee" mentality
other females that are there to get a date, not learn about self defense
other females that are there because of their significant other
other females that have something to prove to males
any other females that have any personality characteristics that reflect negatively on the female gender
macho males who have something to prove
males looking for a date
anybody who could be described as "hardcore" anything
a sport or competition preparation element, I am only interested in fitness and self defense
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

As for your martial arts class, it looks like you will need to take private lessons if you wish your criteria met.

And training long course outdoors utterly rocks, even with navigation issues on backstroke and any discomfort involving butterfly+sunburn.
