[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s a liability issue. For example, Recently there was an incident and now many of the public lap pools in DC make you get out every 45 minutes on the hour. [/quote]
More on this from today:

Thanks; I’m the poster you quoted. I was about to post the same thing. The all out policy is a huge pain in the ass if you are actually trying to accomplish something while being in a lap pool.

It’s entirely a 1) liability driven decision not to have more pools, and 2) a “this will be a massive pain in the ass” decision because of the lunatics in this thread who find racism everywhere,
as that same group of people will figure out how to complain about any additional pools (e.g. the hours, the color, the entrance sizes, the placement).

It’s impossible to win with any public project in this area. Why bother? [/quote]
