It is interesting to note the
publicity the University
Registrar gives the new
swimming pool facility as a
service to the community. Last
Sunday I attempted to take my
family swimming and was not
allowed to enter. The guard at
the door informed me that
family swimming was allowed
only on Thursdays between
8:00 and 10:00 p.m. On school
nights my kids go to bed at
8:30 so this rule eliminates my
family altogether. In addition,
I am sure the rule eliminates
some members of the faculty
and staff who have Thursdays
already committed.
Is it unreasonable to request
that a few hours be made
available for family swimming
on weekends? If not, I suggest
that the Department of
Athletics not advertise its new
possession as a service to the
community.
