Seriously, I can't believe people are kicking up such a big fuss over the change in training time. And excuse me for saying so, but complaining won't get you anywhere and your insight is actually frightfully superficial. Unless you have a better solution, try not to critique.
It's not like we've got plenty of pool offers to pick and choose from. Keppel is already reasonable enough to let us use their pool, since they're a private members club and all, and I'm guessing it's in our contract that we've got to train their members too. And since we're using their facilities, the basic least we could actually do is offer their swimmers priority. Transview is already screwed up and if keppel goes too, we won't even have a pool to train in. Now wouldn't that be nice, then we wouldn't have to bother about all the nasty, inconvenient, 30 minute difference in timing.
Besides, you're making a rudely unjustified assumption when you say that the younger swimmers haven't got anything better to do in the night. Being older does not necessarily equate to having more things to do. Then again, aren't you being incredibly selfish when you demand to have the most ideal timing and push the later one to others based on some haphazard guesswork? Mind you, I don't like the timing either, but you don't see me complaining so much do you. I think some people have seriously got to clear their heads and recognise that some things have no alternative.
And anyway, do you think jiao lian would actually like to stay back everyday? Y'all act as if y'all are the only ones who've been inconvenienced. They're already trying to make this easier for us and change the time on moday and tuesday back to 4.30, but I see that some people are being amazingly selective about the things they choose to notice. Isn't that the point of being in a club in the first place? So you learn that, for once, things don't just magically happen your way, and you've gotta deal with it. I mean frankly, if you're seriously unhappy with the 30 minute (gasp!) delay in timing, you might as well build your own pool and hire a private coach so you train whenever you like, whereever you like. You might also like to consider the tiny little fact that some of the older swimmers might actually like the new timing.
I don't see this as a compromise, it's more a matter of reason and sensibility.
Consider, when you get your freedom, you trespass on the freedom of others.
