Swim Rant

.......And heaven forbid swim lessons occur in YOUR pool, this could only serve to encourage more people to take up swimming as a life style choice and encroach on YOUR lane....... Regarding this statement....You don't get it. They hold swimming lessons throughout the day during the summer months here but have a limited time for adult lap swim. Since there is a large group of adults trying to get in shape, stay in shape, train for triathlons or swim meets, or just swimming for the sheer enjoyment of it, pool management could show us some consideration and leave the pool available for this one hour for the lap swimmers. And we do share lanes when necessary. There are times when our indoor pool and outdoor pool (a total of 12 lanes) have 2 or more swimmers in each lane. I've never told a person they could not share with me when thay ask, and if I see someone waiting, I will invite them to share the lane with me.
