I personally go to ezell at 6:45 am to get a lane. It would be nice to have a couple dedicated pools for walkers and swimmers. I don't mind going further north for it if it's not going to happen south. Have found limited lanes at all the sports pools.
(Look at the schedule in the paper..
) At least give us a couple of days a week where we don't have to vacate the pool for water aerobics or water volleyball. I have limited mobility and swimming laps and pool walking is the only workout I can do.
Couldn’t agree more, lap swimmers get the short end of the stick. Available times mostly limited to sunrise and sunset (especially during the time of the year with shorter days), while everyone else gets the prime time of the day. Not being an early morning person, my wife gets very tired of me swimming just about every day when most people are having dinner.
