[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe there would be more interest if there were more facilities.  As someone stated above, there's also a dearth of indoor pools in the DMV, relative to other areas.  We should really ask our county leaders to do comparison studies and then bring our facilities up to par.[/quote]

Is there really a dearth of pools? I am curious where you are getting this data.[/quote]

Yes, there is a shortage of indoor pools, at least in Montgomery County.  Same really for DC.

In MCPS, for example, there are really only 3 aquatic facilities for 25 high schools.  They must share the pools.  So each team is only allowed to hold swim practice 2x per week, to even out the practice opportunities.

The swim clubs are desperate for indoor pools.  Some now look to use outdoor pools in the winter, due to the shortage of indoor pools.

At least there are plenty of outdoor pools in MoCo for summer use.  (However, in DC there are very few outdoor pools, relative to the population.)[/quote]
