[QUOTE=CFrance;890639]The staff at the rec centers is told not to be enforcers...
I think they pick and choose what to enforce. Actually had one tell me and another grandparent, our toddler (under age of 2) grandchildren could not play with a small plastic cup in the family pool. Since they couldn't swim, the kids were just sitting on the steps entertaining themselves filling the cups and pouring the water out. Hey, it's cheap entertainment and the kids were quiet...two plusses. But, rec staff came by and made us take their "toys" away...didn't go over too well with the toddlers, ya know how that goes. Though did read an article later saying small plastic cups and buckets are permitted. Anyhow, I digress from the original topic ... I realize it's probably tough having to deal with so many villagers and the different personalities. But, they shouldn't pick on the small stuff then overlook situations like a large group deciding to routinely use the neighborhood pool for water aerobics.
