Well... Many said the rule is: NO PERSONAL MUSIC is to be played in public pools, other than what can sometimes be pumped out in the pools' own sound system. One response actually asked me if I only cowardly ask questions on TOTV or ever confront people. This wasn't even worth a reply since I clearly originally stated I didn't know what the protocols were. But today, equipped with the rules, I decided to ask the person at Southside pool in the historic district if he could turn down the volume on his system (playing X-Mas music). Here is what happened. He said sure, and turns it down, then guy in pool starts yelling "hey why are you turning the music down"? Guy explains about my request than guy in pool goes nuts, saying it's X-mas time and am I a visitor, and Pffffff about the rules. So yea, just like I figured, selfish A..holes will always want to have their way. I wish I had asked him "what would Jesus think right now" but knew better. No, there's no attendant at that pool to complain to, and no I can't build my own pool. But maybe from now on, it'll be suntanning in my driveway, if i can find a lounge chair!
I totally agree with you! That is why you do see so many people putting in their own pools! Plus I really hate the fact the “family” pools are nicer then adult pool! Seriously! I moved to a 55 and older so I wouldn’t have to deal with kids. We pay for all this stuff, we residents should get the nicer pool. This is not a resort for your grandkids! I’ve seen worse at pools and yes, I don’t care to go to our pools that look like old pools you would see in a YMCA. I might have thought twice about moving here. Adult pools need to be the family pool. Wish I could have my own pool too!
