Pool Music
 
Are there any pools that don't play music? I like to read and the radio on full blast drives me crazy!

Yes, at the adults pools there is no music played :pepper2:

No music at Rio Grande family pool

We have been there done that - don't know what to say. There are some pools where people love to groove and some pools where they want quiet. I would go for the quiet, but don't go to the pools so not an issue for me. Good luck.

Are you south of 466A???? seems like things are happening down there and you can expect this!

The Bonita pool is very quiet as we don't have a radio. I though silly me only the family pools had music.

Earplugs are very inexpensive.

pools are for swimming, doing exercise or just gabbing. Music would be good. Have you thought of the Library where everyone needs to quiet. Pools are for fun and hopefully and socializing. It is not your personal readidng room.

I beg to differ, JD, it does not fall to one person to proscribe the uses of a pool, a public space, to another who may use it within the bounds of its rules. Neither should the freedom of the general audience be limited by the wishes of one who wants silence. We can work this out without dividing into camps, can't we?

kitty - have to agree with you - if I were to go to a pool I would want quite so I could enjoy a good book.

The music never really bothers me if I'm reading and usually I'll bring my I-pod when I want to hear the music I like.

Actually, it varies from pool to pool. The group consensus seems to prevail. Some pools have a radio playing all day long, some are very quiet. Aren't we lucky that we have such a wide choice of pools!!

Not trying to start anything here and I don't think that ALL the pools should accommodate me! Just trying to find out if there are any quiet pools!

I understand! It shouldn't hurt so much to ask a simple question!

that is a problem as you will find some people bring their own radios and still play them. I love to read with quiet and that is why we "love " our own pool in backyard with plenty of quiet except the birds singing. Good luck finding one. I'm sure you will.
