The middle of the day probably won't work.... but I don't have a problem with that. The universe doesn't revolve around ME either!
Swimming laps in a neighborhood pool would not work for me at all. When I drive off the end of the pool, I would already be half way across those small neighborhood pools. That's no fun when I can barely get in a couple of strokes before I'm doing my open turn at the other end of the pool. The neighborhood pools were not meant for serious lap swimmers. Sorry.
