I am not sure the designers of the sports pools were aware of these pools are needed especially for our age group. Ps. I have tried swimming laps in the adult pool ad the rec center suggested. That was quite an interesting challenge !
Swimming is great exercise as we age, good for muscle building and cardiovascular health.

I am surprised by the lack of sports pools, even north of 44. Agree, there should be more time for lap swimming.
