(Less wall pushing, more swimming.)
Lane-splitting (two people monopolizing a lane)was a major obstacle during Sunday’s unfortunate 25-yard configuration.

Frankly, I hate this setup. No one I have spoken to at the pool likes the change of switching from 50 to 25 meters. This pool was built to be a 50 meter pool. Those who don't like it have options. Those of us who love a 50 meter pool don't. Do back to 50 meter

The only difference I've noticed is that it is more crowded at 50 meters and quieter at 25...this likely means that 50 meters is what the majority would prefer. I know I'd prefer 50 at all times.

Jeoyuh Lin [Signature #1437] https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/11814638?utm_medium=rss I think that the 50M setup at the Wilson Pool should be preserve full time. I tried the 25 M lane setup at the pool, and it just is not the same as swimming in a 50M pool. Also, the pool closes early by an hour every day as a result of the current policy, which is inconvenient since many have to squeeze in the time after work at night for a decent workout. There are at least seven other indoor pools in DC that are 25M long, all year round. Why not preserve this one as 50M, full time?

I will really appreciate to maintain this swimming pool in 50 meters and to stop doing the changes to 25 meters. There are anothers swiming pools 25 meters in Washington D.C. I love the Olimpic Wilson swimming pool 50 meters. All the changes, you are doing to it from 50 to 25 meters confuse my swimming, and is so much work for the employees,

I am not a triathlete or professional swimmer but I greatly enjoy recreational swimming. I come to DC every weekend and I love Wilson. My pool is 25 yards. It serves it's purpose but its not great. The 50m pool enables me to really improve my stroke and fitness in a way other pools cannot.
Further, I'm an attorney and I know the public was given full opportunity prior to the building of wilson to determine the size and use of lanes, and the agreed upon result was 50m.

To train and condition in a long course pool allows more serious athletes to work out next to recreational participants who are free to swim slowly, do water aerobics, water jogging or walking in the lanes set aside for less vigorous workouts. Many other 25 meter pools are available in the city. Save the 50 m Wilson pool!

I have limited physical abilities and would hate to have my slow lane cut short it would take away from the momentum and endurance that I can not get anywhere else... please keep in mind this is a health issue for some of the over 55 crowd please don't have me going around in smaller circles it would drive me batty!!!! Its the one Great great thing that I feel good about when paying my taxes!!

This magnificent pool ranks as one of the greatest achievements of the City in the past several decades. Don't destroy it by chopping it up into a series of small lanes

These lanes are for exercise, which is sorely needed.
