As for the Rec Dept workers, a lot of those jobs (those that go around and check ID's) are held by your fellow Villager neighbors. Do you really want to put them in that position, where things can get ugly?
In a different scenario.... there are lane hogs in the sports pools, who really are just there to gab with friends. There's no energy being used, as they waddle slowly back and forth, with only their gums flapping. Do we fish them out with a hook too?

Are you really going to refuse a request from someone in a position of authority???? Why would you even think of doing that. Every single person who lives here were told the rules, or that there were rules about usage of certain areas. Why did you move here if you were not going to follow the established rules. If you want to change them, go about it in the proper manner, don't just decide that they don't apply to you. Whether the pools are crowded or busy at a certain time doesn't matter-they are all designated to be quite, relaxing areas for people to just chill, and not be bothered by splashing. From the tone of some people's responses, I have to agree with the poster who talked about bullying. If 30 people were in the pool splashing, doing aerobics, and 10 mins later, someone came into the pool and politely asked them to go to the sports pool, what would you think the responses would be???????? Our "hometown" is getting bigger and bigger, and if people are going to try to change the rules, this is going to turn into our own "me against you" or "us against them" , and no one is going to be happy. I have only been here 4 years, but we didn't have any of this kind of stuff even as recent as then-some upset about seat savers, but that is all I remember. Others may have different memories.

I will be contacting Mr Rohan. This group aerobics is totally unacceptable for neighborhood pools. The sports pools are beautifully designed and available for this activity. The rules and purposes of each type of pool is very clear.
It is very unfortunate that there are so many people who think the rules only apply to other people. Bullying is bullying and those who don't see themselves as bullies in this situation are simply selfish or ignorant.
The neighborhood pools are too small for any organized aerobic activity. This is simply a clique whose members think that there is safety in numbers and they can out number those there for the intended purpose: Leisure. It is simply inappropriate. Period.
