Natasha, our Parks-n-Rec pool used to host kayak practice during the winter months, on Sundays from 6 pm - 8 pm. They've stopped doing that with the excuse that they are afraid that the kayaker's paddle will "cut" the liner at the bottom of the pool.
Even when I was learning in about 1.5 meters of water, I don't recall my paddle hitting the bottom of the pool. But if it is a legitimate concern, it only takes one strike to damage the liner.
What do your pool administrators say about their "liner damage" concerns? It seems more like our local pool administrators just don't want to do it and have invented reasons, because in the past, it was fine for many years in a row.
