People come and swim two widths and leave. I go between 6pm and 10 pm and have not seen a serious swimmer yet. Most people just stand around. I'm a beginner and want to see some good swimmers to learn from. I spend about 1.5 hrs alternating back stroke and crawl. It take me at least an hour to do Grouse grind so I am not in shape as lots of people can do it in half that time. Maybe people only swim to relax. No attractive females even the female life guards are over weight. I'm
beginning think normal people dont swim at least in the evening.

Why not ask around for more information on what time 'serious' swimmers come into the pool?

I used to swim at Watermania in Richmond after work around 6-7 and I always had to fight for the lanes with those people who seem to keep going for a dozen lengths. LOL
