Dear Ms. Caron,

I am writing about the new booking rule your aquatics services department is proposing for community groups at the public pool. I definitely agree that some rules are needed to keep the pool safe and fair for everyone who swims there. However, I disagree with one major point. Your department is proposing a "single-lane booking" rule that would let each group reserve only one lane at a time, unless the swimmers are immediate family members. Your logic is simply that a handful of groups tie up too many lanes at once, and that limiting each booking to one lane will free up water for the public. You state that this rule has done much to ease overcrowding at pools in other cities. There is simply no conclusive evidence to support this claim.
