As many of us told our kids as they grew up:

"You want to be treated like an 'adult'?? Then act like one. But until you do, you are going to be watched by us or a babysitter."
My friend's husband works at one of the rec centers. They only have one monitor for three pools. Things like these exercise groups slip through. Then they become established events, and the rec center staff doesn't want to suffer the ire of 30-60 people, so they waffle and do nothing, even when faced with a complaint.

It really has to come from the top down, IMO.
