The only reason I joined this gym is to swim laps. Travis AFB has a seasonal pool, other wise I wouldn't have joined In-Shape. My main concern seems to be the lack of concern for members that come to swim laps. The water aerobics classes(inside pool) take up one lane, which only leaves two for lap swimming. The other day, a swimming instructor took another lap lane which left only one lane for swimmers. The outside pool is open, but during the winter months it can be quite frigid. Swimmers are at the mercy of the water aerobics instructors, if they decide they want to go to the outside pool on a nice day, you'll have to interrupt your exercise to make room for them, because they will take the entire pool. This in grossly unfair and should be addressed ASAP! Some possible solutions would be to set limits on minimum class participation numbers before lanes are taken down. In other words, if only 5 people show up for water aerobics, no lap lanes should be taken down. All swimming instruction should be conducted in the area adjacent to the lap swimming lanes. Dates should be set on when water aerobics instructors can use the outside pool, and one lane should be left open for lap swimming always!
