Later pool hours
Read the fictional viewpoints and answer the questions that follow.
Council is considering whether Brookfield Pool should stay open until 9:00 p.m. on summer weekdays instead of closing at 7:00.
Mina Torres supports later hours. She says families who finish work after six have little time to swim, and a later closing time would make better use of a facility already staffed in the evening. She proposes a two-month trial, with attendance recorded by hour. Mina accepts that the change will cost more, but says the council should judge the trial using actual demand.
