The pools that are designated for lap swimming are only 4 and a half feet deep, much easier to get help to someone with a medical emergency. The family and neighborhood pools are not really for lap swimming but I know that many people use them for that purpose. It's unsafe as those pools go to about 6 feet and very difficult to help someone. All the pools tho have life saving equipement readily available on the pool decks. Take a few minutes and look around the pools to see where the safety equipement is an dif you don't know how to use it, ask someone. And of course NEVER swim alone no matter how good you think you are, things happen very quickly.
