Well true to form a positive earlier now a negative. They dont have enough lifeguards to keep all lanes open oitdoors and indoors. For outdoor pool means at times the disability access lanes are closed. The impact is 2 hours a weekday with water aerobics taking one disability access lane there is no disabilility lane. Then on Sunday masters swim takes over the lane that at noon becomes the only disability lane. The other lane becomes open swim. So is only 45 min or so depending on how long masters swimmers hang out in the disability lane. Today was more than an hour. About par for utah where disability access isn't that important.

Then the outdoor pool temp one warm day was 85F wasting energy to heat above 83F. Doubtful they have a PID controller to keep temp constant. The cost of extra 2F heating a 50m olympic pool probably cost more than a PID (proportional integral derivative) controller.

Upstarred from earlier review. Last Monday outdoor pool closed as boiler broke water got too cold below 78F. I was sure given past track record would be closed rest of the summer. Yet was surprisingly open on the following Saturday. Still you'd think the 5 lane master swim would put the gear they use away after done. They don't. What happens frequently is the stack of kick boards and pile of leg floats get blown into the water impeding the lap swimmers who follow. Nice. So then the lifeguards have to pick up after the master swimmers. So lame...My earlier review still applies: I don't recommend the nice 50m outdoor pool for laps anymore due to swim teams taking over most lanes arbitrarily no schedule. Some people who used to swim laps here have left. Apparently the JCC near the U hospital is much more lap friendly. For instance last Sunday when opens 10am, 2 swim teams took over 6 lanes. At other times one swim team or masters swim will take over 5 lanes. Then at noon one lane becomes open swim. So if doing laps and dont want to weave around kids splashing that can leave just one or two lanes for lap swimming. Then on weekends frequently to make it worse after noon adults just get in the far end of a lap lane and stand around talking when is what the open swim lane is for. Even stand on the inbound side of circle swimming. To make things worse weekday mornings except Friday group swim and swim lessons take over two lanes. If that's not enough a swim instructor took over one end of the open swim today around 3pm for swim lessons. She barked at me when there was no sign nor even a cone indicating occupied... Typical all this is result of management problems not requiring swim teams to schedule and not requiring only one swim team at a time...Has been a systemic problem for years can see my earlier review might even have been last summer: Most of my Steiner review is under Salt Lake City Sports Complex. So for context see that. Well Steiner has done it again to us swimmers. The lanes are subject to closure from 9am-4pm for high school swim teams during the holidays. Nice. How about giving the rest of us 9am-noon instead. Then give swim teams 6am-9am. Swim teams should be able to get up that time for practice. I do that to go for my workouts before work. So lame 9am-4pm.
