While I think this policy is unfair- making up to 84 people wait outside while just a few people swim, I understand the rule and do abide by it. Some of the classes are very popular and people arrive by 8 am to make sure they can get in to the class. The attendant who passes out the tickets often does not get to the pool until 8:35 or later making people stand for up to 45 minutes in the hot sun to just get a ticket so they can go in at 8:50. The least the Seabreeze director could do is to have someone come out at 8:15 or even earlier so we can get a ticket and at least sit in the golf cart or car in some shade as opposed to broiling in the hot sun.

That sounds like a great idea to me. Considering that some people can't stand for long periods of time, and the fact that the rec centers are open anyway, they could be encouraged to be a little more accommodating. Have you tried contacting someone at the rec center, or John Rohan?
BTW, I don't think it's unfair to the people swimming laps or pool walking to have their peace and quiet until their time is up. these things are scheduled by the rec centers, and just because one class might not be as popular as another, they should all be given the same weight.
