We also wondered why there were no indoor pools, though given the population size of TV, I have no idea how many indoor or seasonally covered pools would be enough to satisfy the need. 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!
