The line has been drawn at 30. If you want that changed, go ahead and try to get it changed. Until then, it's 30, whether the person is polite and quiet or not.

There are pools for 30+ only. This accommodates visitors, but not people 2+ generations removed from the residents.
There are pools for residents only (sports pools). This accommodates residents who don't want visitors in their pools.
There are pools for all ages. This accommodates everyone who is neither 30 years old, nor a resident.
Everyone's covered here.

The line has been drawn but if you want to get it changed go ahead and try... but really don't, because everyone's covered here.
Or maybe, the line has been drawn, the rules are the rules, the sign on the wall is clear...

Flexibility is only okay in certain cases or for certain people??
I would much rather see rules based on behaviors rather than arbitrary age discrimination. As I believe I wrote somewhere earlier in the 200+ responses, I would rather see a 25 year old sitting in a chair reading or standing in the pool talking to their parents than have no choice but to listen to a 55+ year old loudly discuss their recent medical procedure on speaker phone or a group of 70 year olds loudly agreeing with themselves about politics.
But today the rules are the rules and so I'll have to consider the arbitrary number on the sign.
