Indoor lap lane pool or retractable roof over one of the centrally-located sport pools like Laurel Manor. I, and I think many other lap/fitness swimmers, would pay a monthly fee to use one.

"Florida's Healthiest Hometown" seems to be doing nothing about helping lap swimmers and other aquatic fitness swimmers reduce the high risk of skin cancer. With swimming and aquatic exercise being one of the best forms of exercise for seniors, there is a huge need for this.

And before saying "just do it early morning or late afternoon-evening when there's less sun", that's easier said than done. There are classes scheduled all the way up thru 3:00, and from November thru Feb, it gets dark too early to be able to have more than a 2-hour timeframe for which many people wait to swim laps.
