If the pool is busy there end up to be several pairs of shoes... always around the railing.. so you actually have to navigate the shoes to hold the railing. I am just wondering if anyone else has noticed this...any thoughts??

Oh mollypeanut, I applaud you. You're a very thoughtful person. I've noticed this "shoe collection" by the walk-in rail many times. People with mobility problems may also have vision problems and not realize there are shoes in their way. It's not a huge problem, and just a little thought can make life a bit better for those who use the railing. Good for you for bringing it to people's attention.
