That does not necessarily always capture it. For example, in my area at the moment, Swim Ireland, in collaboration with Intel and Kildare County Council, has a pop-up pool. There are 74,000 people in the catchment area for that pop-up pool. It is daft. A person might only be five minutes or 5 km away from a private swimming pool. For example, if someone in my area wants to book a swim, he or she might have to do it three weeks in advance. The population catchment has to matter as well as distance.
