What is so hard about following guidelines????
Weren't you taught anything as a child, or did your parents run to the school every time you were disciplined????
Sorry, I'm cranky. Just lost 3 straight games of horseshoes to the little woman...….

There is no rule that forbids people swimming in the swimming pools. They are not bathing pools, or soaking pools. They're swimming pools, by definition. It's OKAY to swim in them. And if you are swimming from one end of the pool to the other end of the pool, the length you just swam would be called a "lap." If you do it a few times, it's called "swimming laps." No line, goggles, or cap necessary. But you do have to keep your eyes open and watch where you're going. Just like when you're walking on the sidewalk. You don't look DOWN to make sure you're exactly in your section of the sidewalk that won't impede someone coming the other way. You look ahead, and use this crazy thing called "perspective" this other wild phenomenon called "peripheral vision" to estimate your proximity to other people, and to the curb, where, one would hope, you would stop and look both ways before crossing.
