Westmount is reducing swim lanes from 3 to 1 during General Swim
Gerekçe
Adult residents of Westmount have limited opportunities to swim. Despite charging its citizens a fee of $64 pp ($50 senior) to swim in its outdoor municipal pool, the City of Westmount is further restricting lap swim opportunities by reducing the number of lanes available during General Swim from 3 to 1.
The picture appearing with this petition was taken the afternoon of June 30, and clearly depicts a pool which is not crowded (despite outdoor temperatures above 30C) and can easily accommodate 3 swim lanes.
We demand, as taxpayers of the City of Westmount, to have our access to AT LEAST 3 swim lanes RESTORED during General Swim.

Open swim should mean accommodating all types of swimmers or individuals who want to enjoy the pool. Public health should be top of mind for the City of Westmount and lap swim meets that objective. Please allow for the return of three lanes during open swim time schedules.

I am a Westmount resident who swims for fitness and relaxation. I love the outdoor pool!
During the summer I count on the availability of the 3 lap swim lanes in the outdoor pool. The recent reduction in the number of lanes during general and adult swim times makes it hard to swim for fitness because the lane is often full and a single lane makes it difficult to accommodate swimmers at different levels (speed and stroke type). Reducing the number of lanes is an inefficient use of pool space (because lane swimmers spread out and swim on the blue lines instead of sharing lanes between multiple swimmers of similar speeds).
Fewer lanes also limits the strokes that swimmers can practice - backstroke is impossible to use without lane ropes. Fewer lanes reduces safety for all by increasing the possibility of collision between lap swimmers and casual swimmers.
Early morning Lap swims are already crowded. Alternate lap swim scheduling options are needed during general and adult swim times.

As a swimmer who uses the pool on a daily basis, I am directly affected by all the new rules at Westmount pool this summer, only one lane during general swim, less time slots for lap swim and less adult swim slots.
