Default Disagree

I still have to disagree with you, Russ. The point is...if adults ignore rules and/or tell kids they don't have to follow them except under certain conditions, then what is that teaching them? Is it going to kill anyone if younger than the age limit or an "occasional" outsider uses the pool? No. If it's ok with you that they come in (outsiders), then find a way for them to share in the cost. Those pools are not on any individual's property, but we do pay for them. I don't go to the pools, but I don't mind paying my ammenities fees which include the pools because I chose to live here. Many of the outsiders choose not to live here so they don't have that expense but want to use the ammenities anyway. How is that fair to those of us who do? You can personally control who comes into yours and that's as it should be. Why can we not reasonably expect the same thing from the Villages pools?

You asked for my solution....everyone do the right thing and teach their children to do the same. It's called taking responsibility. I don't care if it's not a candy bar in a store....it is still stealing (taking something that is not yours).
