You missed the one reason many put in a pool. Those who are tired of waiting in line then wait another hour for a lane. They get those who are unhappy because you are swimming 2 miles. So one puts in either a swim lane, or a professional tether, to swim all the laps you want. TV probably has more lap swimmers than any mega gyms I belong to.

Before our pool was finished all 3 sports pools I swam at had the same 20- 30 swimmers every morning in line at 0630. No matter the temp, if the pool was open we swam. Same for every sports pool for all open swim slots
