I told him he was 36 and he said then he is too young to buy a home here so he should get out. I explained that he lived here in our home. He did call someone who came and asked what the situation was. At this point Ryan said he would get out. The official said not to get out because he was entitled to swim there and he was doing what the sports pool were created for. He asked the man if he was swimming or walking laps and he stated he was not so he asked HIM to get out. Be careful what you complain about!
I love stories with a happy ending.
