OK, I seem to be missing something. Where did Blue say it was an over-30 pool that had the kids in it? A "neighborhood" pool could be any type of pool. I imagine the kids were checked to ensure they were actual guests of residents rather than local kids using the facilities.
There's no question that if someone under 30 uses the sports/adult pools, they'll be booted out quickly -- I've seen residents confront some of the kids in a sports pool rather than waiting for someone in authority to do their jobs. But the family pools are another issue. They do become crowded during spring/summer breaks and it is hard to figure out who is truly legitimate and who isn't. Seems like an attendant wouldn't be a bad idea during high usage times.
Another reason to have someone at the family pools is that parents and grandparents really don't supervise the kids very well. Sooner or later a kid is going to slip and get a concussion running and jumping into the pools. Someone needs to stop this. (A much bigger issue to me.)
