Letter: Burnaby pools in dire need of lane swimming space

Having the Central Park Pool available year-round would be "amazing" for this local swimmer.

The closure of the C.G. Brown Memorial Pool (seen here in a file shot) left a void for Burnaby people looking for lane swimming.

Re: Temporary cover at Burnaby pool “a complete embarrassment”: mayor

The closure of C.G. Brown Pool basically means that finding a quiet lane swim time is very hard now.

A lifeguard even verified this, indicating that Burnaby pools’ swim schedules are greatly occupied by rentals.

I’m not likely to be able to swim in Burnaby until the outdoor pools open. It would be amazing to have Central Park Pool be available year round.
