The few months when the rec pool is open, it's great (usually Late May through early/mid Sept), but once winter comes the club rents the lap pool to area swim teams and swim clubs. The swim teams use ALL the lanes (except perhaps one and even then you have to demand it) from 5-9 each weekday which is when most people with jobs swim. Of course, the members get no break on the fee although they can really not use the facilities during this time.
