Default Lap Swimming in the Sports Pools

Can anyone share their experience swimming laps in the Sports Pools since they reopened Monday? Since there are only 4 lanes open in each pool for lap swimming, no more than one person at a time per lane, and there is a limit of one hour of use, I have the following questions.

Is there a long wait for the use of a swim lane?

Is there a better or worse (less or more crowded) time of the day to get a lane without a long wait?

Are certain Sport Pools more or less crowded?

Is someone strictly monitoring the one hour time restriction or is it the honor system?

Is someone monitoring the use of the swim lanes to be sure water walkers are not taking up a lap swimming lane?

How does the Q work when waiting for a lane (does everyone line up far apart and the person in the front of the line get the next available lane, or do people wait at each lane for that particular lane to open up)?

I would greatly appreciate any feedback from those who have ventured out to swim laps since last Monday. It's been 55 days since I swam a lap and I really want to get back at it, but want to know what to expect.

Thank You
