Chairs blocking showers at pools

[Jim Morris]

Is there any way of having the Villages installing small signs at the swimming pools shower area that would read :PLEASE DO NOT PLACE ANY CHAIRS, TABLES ETC. WITHIN 10 FEET OF SHOWER. It could be worded differntly but should be in english only. At the Hadly pool people, set up their chairs directly under the showers. This has caused many tence situations and hard fellings in what is supposed to be a relaxing atmospher. The signs should be placed ON THE SHOWER POLE. Rule # 2 for pool use is to "Shower before intering pool" Asking these brain dead people to PLEASE MOVE THEIR CHAIRS has resulted in unpleasent confrontations.

Try this simple solution. Shower before arriving. And then wrap your towel around yourself and shower the bleachy water off you when you get home.

I have never in my whole life showered at the pool.

Gracie, you are so practical. :BigApplause:

I would speak to the Rec center people at that people and ask them to "police" it a little better, they should handle those situations. It seems to me that pools vary widely as to having an "official" person at the pool checking IDs, etc....
Many people like to rinse off after being in the pool before they sit and soak up sun. The shower area needs to be kept clear for its intended purpose, imho.

[Uptown Girl]

What would happen if you just announced with a big smile, "I'm going to rinse off", reached over and turned on the shower?

.....or "Don't mind me! This will only be on for a little bit." :pepper2:

I'm with bil and uptown, if i'm coming out of the pool and need to rinse off i would go to the shower and rinse off, any collateral damage is the fault of someone putting their chair too close....gn

[George Bieniaszek]

No sign necessary as the previous posters stated. Just slide up to the shower and have at it!! The stupid will figure it out very quickly. With the pool area being so large, there is no reason to park your chaise under the shower.

Hit the cold water first and let it run :cold:

[graciegirl]

If I wanted to take a shower at Hadley pool I would go over and say to the people who had their chairs too close;

"Excuse me. I would like to take a shower, may I trouble you to move a bit?"

I bet they never noticed they were sitting too close.

But before I would aggravate someone for something so trivial, or pour cold water on someone I didn't know, I would go home and shower.

How did I get to be 71 years old and never even think about something like this?

[asianthree]

The water at the pool shower is really cold. It will be refreshing for anyone sitting to close.

Parden me for being a dummy but why would someone put a chair under a shower and for what purpose. Some of this stuff is so unbelievable I just dont get it.

If we would all be normal, the Villages would be a boring place to life :D

What is normal??

So you need to live with inconsiderate morons so not to be bored. NICE

[ilovetv]

The suggestion to just shower at home is sensible, of course. But knowing how pool people like that "monitor" and look up and down everyone who enters, if we showered at home first they would b*tch about you breaking rule #2 by getting into the pool without showering (because they didn't see you do it at home). That would be another "confrontation".

"Live and let live" is not in that type of person's vocabulary.

Just make sure it's a nice White Towel or the Bleach will spot it. LOL

I thought all the pools were salt water and not chlorinated.

[Figmo Bohica]

Village Watch needs to come roaring in, haul these people off for public execution. See problem solved.

Salt water pools have a generator that produces chlorine.

For Jim Morris - the O.P. - - - - Do you have any other thoughts?

[JoeC1947]

Not surprised that someone would complain this. How ridiculous! This type of complaint should not be encouraged.
