I've read many, many people on this forum who swim and exercise year round (with maybe a few very cold days off) in the main sports pools. The lack of an indoor facility doesn't stop them. I do know that some handicap people might need an indoor pool but unfortunately one is not on the agenda.

I wouldn't support any raise in fees for an indoor pool. If there was enough support for it then some enterprising person, and there are many in TV, should build one and charge a monthly fee. Don't see that happening IMHO.
