Which is why I don't get why the pools have more space allotted for the walkers than they do for the swimmers.

For example.....The Lake Miona pool has 9 lanes. Normally (prior to Covid restrictions), that pool had 4 lanes in for swimmers and 5 lanes open for walkers. That makes no sense to me because many more walkers can fit in one lane vs one swimmer with a max of 2 swimmers when they share a lane.

I did make a request to the person in charge of the pools to have 5 lanes in for swimmers and 4 lanes open for walkers. Seems my request fell on "deaf ears".
