I love the Beacon Pool and the great people at Beacon Recreation, but its reservation system is deeply broken. People book in advance and take up slots, so you can’t make a casual decision to go when the mood strikes.
I’m sure I’m not the only one whose children will change their minds about how much they want to swim at any moment. I have early slots booked; they don’t want to go. By 3:30 p.m., all they want to do is swim, but the pool is sold out although half the people who signed up aren’t going because their kids wanted to go at noon and lost interest by 3:30.
