Looking for a place to swim tomorrow...
I usually swim at a 25m pool in a hotel athletic club that's less than 500m from my back porch, almost always yields at least one completely empty lane (2 lanes for lap swimming guaranteed 6am-10pm), and has always been populated with divinely accommodating and polite non-swimming pool users. But someone drove a van into its roof. My small piece of swimming paradise is closed.
So, let's see, there are within 15 miles of me, nine more 25m pools (ten, if you count the dive tank), one 50m pool, and one 50m comp pool, and I am having trouble figuring out where to go because all of them schedule their length swimming AT THE EXACT SAME INCONVENIENT &*%^# TIME!
Who thinks up the schedules, and why has no one drowned them yet?
