Notice the word "primarily." The word is not synonymous with "exclusively," they mean two distinctly different things. "Primarily" means - the pool has other uses as well, though those other uses are secondary to the primary.
The interpretation of that to me, is if you show up to swim laps, be sure to yield to the bathers who are there to not swim laps. Give them their space, and you can occupy the other spaces in the pool instead, assuming there is other space available. The socializers call dibs on the square footage they occupy. The swimmers get second-best, when available.
Again - this really is a non-issue. Swimmers are ALLOWED to swim in these pools. Swimming is NOT forbidden in these pools. If you value your hairdo, wear a shower cap when you enter the pool. If you don't want salt water (or chlorine, as the case may be) in your eyes, wear sunglasses (which you should be doing anyway, to protect your eyes and delay and reduce risk of cataracts).
