OK - normally I don't care so much, but it has become an avalanche of little things. Maybe its the end of season rave.
Outdoor pool that is much too warm - 86+ at 5 am no less
No pace clocks at all - they removed the outdoor mounted pace clocks and the portable 31" pace clock has "dissapppeared". Inside pool pace clock is new, but it skips or sticks - so you can't trust the times. Maybe they removed the outdoor clocks so no one would know what time it is and stay longer at the pool - a la Vegas with the interior lights.
Half the lights in the pool (at 5 am it is dark) don't work, and sometimes they have removed them from the housing and it is a little disconcerting.
They lock the storage cage and we don't have access to pull bouys and kick boards - they are for "swim lessons" and they don't want them stolen, but the locker that has the foam barbells and floatation belts is wide open. I'm sorry but who steals pull bouys or kickboards at 5 am.
Hot showers - especially outside, are an option for no apparent reason - the pool can be body temp, but the shower rarely breaks room temp.
