I have. A week ago some woman brought her teenager and young kid to the neighborhood pool. The boy jumped in and fooled around like children do. I asked her if she by any chance knew the 30 year age rule. She looked shocked. I really didn’t think she knew. Then I suggested the nice family pool a block away. They left, I think they were more surprised than upset.
If there are people in the pool, please don’t try to swim laps. Go to a sports pool. The mistake people make is thinking that the neighborhood pools are “swimming pools”. As a past member of the swim team, I can say, they are not. Think of them more as a hot tub with cooler water and bigger for several people to use at once. These pools are “relaxing pools”. They were not designed big enough for everyone to have a float and polite space around that float when there are several people in the water.
