The interpretation of that to me, is if you show up to swim laps, be sure to yield to the bathers who are there to not swim laps. Give them their space, and you can occupy the other spaces in the pool instead, assuming there is other space available. The socializers call dibs on the square footage they occupy. The swimmers get second-best, when available.
Again - this really is a non-issue. Swimmers are ALLOWED to swim in these pools. Swimming is NOT forbidden in these pools. If you value your hairdo, wear a shower cap when you enter the pool. If you don't want salt water (or chlorine, as the case may be) in your eyes, wear sunglasses (which you should be doing anyway, to protect your eyes and delay and reduce risk of cataracts).

What you say makes sense to me. I think the idea is basic consideration for others. This seems a foreign concept to people who feel “entitled” whether at the pool, or Publix, or on the MMPs.
One of the first things a kindergarten teacher does, is try to “socialize” the students. I remember in one arts and craft class of 15 four year old children, one child took all the scissors, all 15 of them, and refused to share. I asked him, “How are you planning to use all 15 scissors at once?” The concept of “other” I think, takes time.
