I don't frequent our neighborhood pool often at all; maybe two or three times to sit with my husband. He doesn't swim like I do. I was told by a friend there is no swimming laps in the neighborhood pools so I would not do it.

Also, there are no lane dividers in neighborhood pools, no lane markers on the bottom of the pool or touch points at the ends of the pool. Actually, I would not want to swim laps in a neighborhood pool for those reasons. I never really looked at a posted sign at our neighborhood pool to see if swimming is not permitted but it certainly is not conducive for swimming laps. I spend my time at the sports pools to swim laps.
