'I am frustrated and disheartened by this disruption,' says a Burnaby mom.

As a swimmer at North Burnaby's Eileen Dailly pool, I'm frustrated by poor scheduling decisions that have closed every lane of the pool for public lengths daily from 9:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m.

The disruption started recently to accommodate extra aquafit classes, in part to support the overflow demand from C.G. Brown Memorial Pool. Aquafit is popular and it's important to have this programming; however, it comes at the daily expense of all length swimmers and especially parents. Administrators instead proposed a temporary half-lane, spanning part of the width of the pool at ⅔ the normal length distance. This idea ironically mimics the temporary-half-roof debacle at Kensington pool that was recently admonished by Mayor Hurley.
