Perhaps we need a TV meeting to discuss the intent of the rules and how improvements can be submitted. The list of allowed toys is out of date.
These pools are part of our amenities. They cannot be changed. The rules are what they are and you agree to follow them when you choose to live in The Villages. They are posted, so that you can read them every time you step through the gate of each pool.

The intent of the rules is to provide seniors with a place to be with other adults over 30. And it is to provide seniors to have a place where their under-30 younger family members and friends can visit, without imposing on the seniors who don't want younger people hanging out at the adult pools where there's a sign saying they're not supposed to be there.

What difference does it make the intention. It's the rule. You stop at a red light not because it's a nice way to show community spirit. You stop at it because it's a rule. Regardless of its intention, that is the rule and if you get caught disobeying it, you get a ticket.
