A couple of key points to consider:
An indoor pool facility should be by membership fee, and it should be for lap swimming and fitness.
Sport pool time is what is needed in both winter and summer, under cover and temp controlled. Many of us have to avoid the daytime sun, but the early darkness now thru March drastically cuts short the sport pool lap swimming hours available when classes end at 3pm.
And as noted above, the summer sun heats the water to almost 90, making almost instant heat exhaustion for lap or fitness swimmers.
As we pay greens fees to play the championship golf courses--whose operational costs are far beyond an indoor pool--people should be able to understand paying to use an indoor pool, too.
