Why do people bring floats and people under 35 (reading a 17 magazine is a dead give away) to the pool? It just makes me uncomfortable. Or jealous that I follow rules, that I wish were different, when my kids come to town and I'd love to float too.....but, rules are rules........for the good of all and all that.
Thanks, just needed to vent

1998,

Can you elaborate? Which pool?

By floats, do you mean the inflatables that your can lie down on or the "noodles" tied together?

I have only brought underage guests to the pool once - and we went to Truman where children and young adults are allowed. People also had noodles and were floating around.

Thank you.

I guess you're talking about a family pool rather than an adult pool?
Why can't someone under 35 go to a family pool? They can go to an adult pool too as long as they are over 30.
Are there rules about floats? Seems like lots and lots of people carry around those "noodles" tied together in a D shape for floating in. I haven't seen anything posted about floats at the pool.
Why does it bother you so much?

See pool guidelines....

According to that document the only restriction on floats is at the Family Pool?

I'm totally confused .. JDSL, can you explain?

I thought anyone over 18 was allowed at an adult pool? Is there a "people under 35" rule that I missed? And I thought noodles were allowed .. it seems as if everyone has them.

Last year our son was I.D at an adult pool. He was 32, but looks younger. We were told a long time ago, that to use an adult pool you have to be over 30. Has this now changed?

[Bogie Shooter]

The pool guidelines spell out the age restrictions.
Sport pool 30 years residents only.
Family pool guests under 30 years.
Neighborhood Pool 30 years of age.

Now I'm confused! So if you have a guest who is over 30 years of age, they can only go to the neighborhood pools? I thought they could go to the family pools, too.

Tracy -

They can go to the family and the neighborhood pools. The "sports" pools are residents only.

Thanks : )

I did start this about an adult pool.
Yes, I mean floats, not noodles. Full body out of water floats.
I did read the rules today and it says 30 at adult pool. The person was much younger.
Just an uncomfortable issue and as I said a bit jealous.....

There are roving monitors at pools that do not have permanent assigned monitors and if a roving monitor happened upon an adult pool with a person less than 30 years old, that person would have been asked to leave. Not trying to be smart, but if you see this happening frequently, and it bothers you that much, call the neighborhood watch. They will send somebody over to correct the situation.

Have you ever called on neighborhood watch to do anything like this? My experience with them is that they do nothing of the sort.

1998, why jealous? If under 30 that just doesn't mean they can't use and adult pool, it means they are too young to live and TV and enjoy the lifestyle we all LOVE!
