Re: summer swimming

Dear Visionaries:
To whom (besides this public forum)should comments about lap swimming lanes be 
directed???  A lunch "hour" is often too short a period in which to travel, 
change, swim, shower, dry, change, and travel.  A swim at the end of the day is 
often the perfect "pick-me-up" before going home (to a busy evening) or before 
attending an event!  The few times I was able to swim laps during the previous 
two summers, the lanes were never too crowded to "circle" comfortably.  
However, better supervision of the munchkins jumping in from the side or 
hanging on the ladder would be appreciated!<grin>
