They did post signs on the front doors with very, very bright yellow paper but some people still came in and gave the teacher a hard time. Granted today which was the last day of class there were only four of us but the class did start with 12 people each of us being taught in individual lanes. Several people were so deathly afraid of the of putting their face in the water they just never came back.
What I don't understand is why are people complaining about the Lifelong Learning College renting the pool. We all paid a pretty penny to take these lessons and were more than willing to because of the reputation of the swimming instructor. Back in the fall I paid to take line dancing classes through the College and I didn't hear anyone complaining about the room in the rec center being rented out for those classes.
Truthfully with all the pools in the Villages I am appalled at all the nasty, rude and inconsiderate people who came into our class and wanted to argue it out with our instructor. For goodness sakes...... it was only 6 classes!!!!
I have only been in the Villages for a little less than a year and am shocked at the behavior of the people we encountered during this class. All I can say is with as may pools that there are in the Villages if I ever complain about not being able to go to one of them because classes are being held then please.... just shoot me!!!!!!!
