Westmount is reducing swim lanes from 3 to 1 during General Swim

мотиви

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.

Щиро дякую за вашу підтримку, Claire Panet-Raymond, Westmount

  • Hi Everyone,

    Earlier today, Sylvia and I had a productive meeting with Dave Lapointe, Director - Culture, Sports, Recreation and Social Development for the city of Westmount.

    Dave agreed there is no reason not to have more than one lane rope during adult swim, and will be instructing the lifeguards to make more lanes available as needed.

    As for offering more than one lane during general swim, it is unlikely the current situation will change before the end of this swim season. Much as we tried to explain the rationale for needing at least two lanes during general swims, the pool management disagreed with our position.

    Hoping everyone enjoys the rest of the outdoor swim season!
  • Hi again,

    On July 17, I received an email from city hall confirming the decision to remove all but 1 lane rope during general and adult swims was made by "Dave Lapointe, Director of Culture, Sports, Recreation & Social Development, along with Andrew Maislin, Division Head, Operations & Sports Facilities".

    On July 21, I sent an email to Andrew and Dave expressing the various concerns raised in the petition and requesting a meeting to discuss a collaborative approach in resolving the current situation. Andrew replied, advising Dave was on vacation until July 28.

    On July 29, I sent a reminder email to both Andrew and Dave. As of this date, I still haven't received a response from anyone.
