RSFC is mostly just for RSMC and their Potomac kids that don't want to pay taxes for pools.

Ah. Now I see the point of the thread. Moving on.

Hehe,

I live in MoCo. Why would I want to commute into DC for a pool? I'm sure the DC pools are nice, but they're not any quicker or easier to get to or park at than the abundant number of places we already go. I'm a little confused about this post.

I thought this was a post about the outrageous narrowing of hours and number of DC pools available to DC residents. It is infuriating. No swim for thee, should have chosen to live in VA.

DC Pools are nice, but they require kids to go off the starting blocks at tryouts, which simply not fair.

Oh yeah, but still no indoor swim pools to speak of.

The country clubs have them

One public pool for every 78,000 residents in DC v 1 public pool for every 90,000 MoCo residents is not that different. It's a 2 pool difference. Plus most MoCo residents seem to have private neighborhood pools they attend anyway -- MCSL alone represents 91 additional pools.

You may be focused on indoor pools, but still, you really can't complain about access to swimming in MD.

Also Reservoir Park Aquatic Center is in Ward 1, not 3; and Georgetown University's pool is not a public pool.

Which has nothing to do with DC at all.
