zahavasdad- maybe that seems reasonable to you but that is beyond what I can afford. I love swimming, yet I only swim approximately once a year being as I cannot afford to go more often. There is no publicly funded pool in my area with woman only swim hours. I’m not saying swimming is a right. However, I think it’s incredibly unfair of someone who can swim almost all of the time to claim discrimination for not being allowed in during women’s swim. From the New York Human Rights Law
