This is primarily a 55+ community, so what restriction would you place???? I suspect your cutoff age is 26, and next year it would be 27, etc.
You've never seen 20-30 year olds horsing around at a pool, yelling, running, jumping in dangerously close to some 90 year old who is just standing there? There are plenty of family pools she can go to, and if you open your wallet a bit, country club pools as well. I think you would find the overwhelming majority of Villagers support the age restriction.

Are you advocating a change in the restriction to be safe from 30 year olds who might be horsing around?
I grudgingly accept that this is a rule but I haven't yet heard a good reason for it. I am a bit over 30 but I could still jump into the pool dangerously close to some 90 year old who is just standing there. I have also been with 20-somethings that are much more respectful than the 70 year olds who are allowed in the neighborhood pools.
If the rule is to prevent certain activities then write the rule that way. As it is, that particular rule seems to be intended to prevent envy and jealousy: We can't let those young people in here, they make us look bad and our spouses won't stop staring at them!
