The community I live in has 2 High School pools that are closed about 90 percent of the time do to the differences of opinion between the 2 "Pool Directors". There are no public swim times and our Masters Team has not been able to get pool time in over a month. It is really frustrating. Being new to the community I don't really want to make waves but the whole thing just makes me so frustrated. Writing this has actually helped a little.
Has anyone else encountered such an issue? Please share...

Many people think that having something going on in a pool is better than aving nothing going on in it. In many cases that is true. However, in many cases it isn't. This is because of increases in insurance, pay for lifeguards, eletricity and cleaning. We have a wonderful, relatively new high school pool that sits empty at least 90% of the time also. But to have a masters swim team there would cost somuch that we can't afford to use it.
It woudl be nice if the world worked how we think it should work instead of how it can work.
