Equipment is located in the pool storage closet.
Noodles, unbreakable masks and goggles are the only items allowed in the pool.
The Recreation Dept. strives to make the pools safe for everyone’s use and enjoyment. The neighborhood adult pools are intended for refreshing socialization and non-organized/scheduled activities. Regularly scheduled water exercise groups are encouraged to use the sports pool for this purpose. Please contact your nearest regional recreation center and we’ll get you started.”

Also, you can walk in the sports pools.
“... Sport pools are designated for exercise programming... Open exercise and walk – no lanes or program leader. General exercise, walking and swimming.”
"Refreshing socialization" can not be done when swimming. In fact, there is no socializing at all when swimming. This wording of "refreshing socialization" is a round about way of saying "No Swimming" in the neighborhood pools. Just my take. Anyone agree with the way I read it?
