No petition necessary ..... this is why we have an Annual Survey. If enough people request a change via the Survey, the developers will certainly consider it. I personally feel the pool situation is fine as is. I think having an adult pool plus a family pool in every neighbourhood is genius.

But choices we make to our homes only require the decision of the homeowners (assuming ARC approval). Doesn't hurt to put your thoughts into the survey, that's why they do it. But I would bet the family pools situation will remain status quo.

True, but I don't see any relevancy to the point I was making in it's full or partial context!

Maybe you could restate your point? I don't see how what we do with our homes has any baring on what the developer does with the pools. I guess I just didn't get your point. |

another thought
I'm guessing that most of you who think the "no toys" rule is just fine do not have grandsons between 5 and 18. The annual survey is a nice place to input your ideas, but who will really care about this unless they have grandchildren (and particularly boys) in the above age range. I think most kids from 8-18 would think our family pools are boring.
But why not have a few (maybe every 4th one) family pools designated as "family activity pools" where you are allowed certain toys and maybe even have volleyball games for teens and parents and grandparents during the busy periods? Those with little kids can go to the other pools. Those adults who don't want to be splashed should go to the adult pools anyway (IMHO). |

Just saying... I don't think the kids care. I know mine didn't. |

My main point is that "just because the family pools are fine as they are, that does not mean that there is no room for improvement." The rest of the post was secondary and made to in effect state that a kiddies pool is no less a good thing than the bird cages, etc. What it was not was a negative against those personal items. Perhaps I could have worded this latter item better, but I guess I'm not smart enought to know how then and I still don't know how I could have made it better even now! One final statement to all... I don't think that I generally feel any different about the family pools than most who have expressed themselves on this thread. I consider those pools to be a positive thing for everyone, even as they currently are, but they're just not for me, and that's for personal reasons only. When I brought up the idea of kiddies pools, I was just trying to share an idea that I've seen or experienced and thought it was a positive idea that warranted my sharing. We can differ in opinion about it, but I do hope people took it for what it was intended... food for thought!

Family pools
When we were at the family pool the kids had a small, soft ball which they were tossing back and forth. That is a no-no. He said it is pretty much like, "if it is fun...you can't do it." From his mouth to God's ears!

Agreed. Memason - a day or two without pool toys is fine, but longer . . . is boring. |
