Actually, not. Anyone wanting to swim laps should go to the sports pools. The neighborhood pools are not for exercising, and there should be no expectation of anyone opening up a lane for you, nor should there be exercise classes being conducted that effectively close off the pool for anyone trying to relax in it.

If it happens that nobody's in there and you want to swim laps, fine, but don't expect that you should be able to. They are for relaxing in, the family pools are for kids, and the sports pools are for exercise. I think it's a good design by TV.
