Personally I don’t think it would be a problem distancing In the pools.
The pool crowding situation developed after rec centers and many activities were closed down, so a whole bunch of people came to the pools when the other activities were eliminated. Plus at that time it was colder up north and lot of family members were visiting.
I don't know about that. I swim laps and I have missed being able to swim but, there is not 6 feet distance between lanes. There is also not 6 feet distance for walkers in the sports pools and certainly not in the neighborhood pools. It is like passing people in the aisles in a grocery store only without masks on.
