Here's an idea for the lap swimming issue: get in touch with the rec center responsible for scheduling the swim times at that pool. First though, get in touch with a whole big bunch of people who also are annoyed that they can't swim laps at the lap-swimming pool, because non-lap-swimming clubs are reserving too much time.

Remember though - if people are ONLY swimming laps in this pool, that means only maybe what - 10 swimmers maximum, at any given moment?

Meanwhile the clubs have anywhere between 15 and 25 members in the pool at once, PLUS a couple of lanes set aside for lap swimmers.

Who's making the most use of this pool?

Also meanwhile, there are several other pools in the general area that aren't utilized as much. While they're not sports pools - you can still swim laps as long as you don't get in the way of folks just hanging out in the middle of the pool.

I have no trouble swimming laps at any of the pools I've been in so far.
