My unscientific and purely personal opinion is that there is lest virus risk associated with pickleball or softball (when some precautions are taken) than with the swimming venues. Amazingly, no one asked me first.
Please tell me where they are playing pickleball in other locations, and if those locations are available to us. I agree with you about the risk of pickleball vs the risk of congregating at a swimming pool.
