The point is that they don't want exercise classes or exercise groups in the adult pools, because those groups would get in the way with clusters of people who want to socialize in the water. There is nothing preventing individuals from swimming in the pool, unless the clusters are in the way.
I swim laps in the adult pools, and sometimes I just go there to cool off and NOT to socialize. Just - sort of float in the water, because it's refreshing. There's nothing preventing me from doing that either, and it's not against the rules. If people are in my way, I either swim around them, or I wait until they move away and swim the laps then.

If I were to swim laps without the lane markings on the bottom of the pool, I would slam into the side wall of the pool. I don't look ahead when I'm swimming laps, I'm looking down and to the sides. I take breaths every third stroke and that does not allow me to look ahead. I would also slam into anyone in the pool who would be in front of me. As I said in my post earlier, swimming laps is not conducive in neighborhood pools. It would be extremely unsafe for me.
Now, bobbing up and down with a noodle under my butt is what I do when I'm in a neighborhood pool. There is a lot to be said about that kind of relaxation.......utterly sublime!
