Maybe comparing it to having the weight-lifting and other machines available only outside in the sun and not in air conditioned rooms would get the point across as to what fitness swimmers deal with in the blazing sun....even at 4-7:00 p.m. in spring, summer and fall it's intense. Skin cancer is a real threat.

Maybe it would make more sense to open the sports pools at 5:00 AM for those who are truly interested in lap swimming. You would not have to worry about sun exposure. When I go to the pool at 7:00 AM it is not always daylight and the pools do have lights. Many serious swimmers are there at that time. When my husband coached swimming, their practices were at 5:30 AM.
