I swim 3x a week at 5:30-7ish PM at Cary St. I rarely have to share a lane.

I prev went to Downtown Y and JCC and at both, you have to book a lane. Not worth it.

You must have better luck than me - I kept running into paddle board yoga, log rolling, swim club in the main pool, and then had to go swim in the shallow pool where there aren’t real lanes, so you’re dodging people just hanging out in the pool.

Edit: at the Vcu pool

Shallow pool is the worst, sorry you’ve had bad luck. I’ve found the 5-7pm window to be clear of all that stuff. They post their schedule online and usually stick to it.
