With so many Villagers wanting to do lap swimming it would make perfect sense to dedicate this one sports pool to that and schedule other events in the myriad of other sports pools spread around the community.

I have suggested this several times to the powers-that-be but their answer is always along the lines that they tried this (probably fifteen years ago for two weeks) and it didn't work out.

The sports pools schedules have evolved piecemeal over time, resulting in the staff constantly having to take out and put in the lane lines. They really need to sit down and start with a clean sheet of paper and schedule all of the events logically - preferably asking for input ahead of time from those people who actually use these pools.

Anyway, about those eggs...
