I believe that Laurel Manor does it that way at some times on some days. That is the best of both worlds - for the occasional swimmer and the sideways-walker types.
I thought the sports pools are for swimming laps. I was informed that swimming is not allowed in the neighborhood pools. I do see walkers in the neighborhood pools though.
