Lap swimming can only be done in a sports pool.

I've come to the conclusion that when talking about the need for an indoor pool or more lap lanes/time for laps...well, it's like talking to a brick wall to non- swimmers.
My Sports Pool is Seabreeze. If you look at the rec schedule, there are only 5 hours per week that are totally dedicated for lap swim. I've been in TV for two weeks and there was not one time I was able to swim in a lane. It was way too busy.
Imagine if they closed a golf course for prime- time golf because they wanted to give lessons to a few.
It's a very frustrating situation....and unfortunately, non- swimmers don't understand.
