Well, it's good to see that this is at least being tried. Maybe it'll be the start of a big trend. Or not. We'll see.

I've seen the sails you mentioned.
Swimming is great exercise. As one who has skin cancer issues, I swim a bit and then head for the shade. Actually, I welcome a cloudy day so I have the opportunity to swim a bit more. ( if I'm not playing golf). We adapt, adjust and deviate to do those things we want to do. As stated before I'm not a big swimmer, so though I welcome an indoor pool, I will not likely use it that much---especially if I have to pay for it! Maybe the "scotch" heritage!
