Default another thought

I'm guessing that most of you who think the "no toys" rule is just fine do not have grandsons between 5 and 18. The annual survey is a nice place to input your ideas, but who will really care about this unless they have grandchildren (and particularly boys) in the above age range. I think most kids from 8-18 would think our family pools are boring.

But why not have a few (maybe every 4th one) family pools designated as "family activity pools" where you are allowed certain toys and maybe even have volleyball games for teens and parents and grandparents during the busy periods? Those with little kids can go to the other pools. Those adults who don't want to be splashed should go to the adult pools anyway (IMHO).
