That is why before are buy there I will do a lot of Due Diligence and not believe what management are saying about life there.
“People are people wherever you go” as the song says, so I would not judge our community on this incident.

Personally we have our own pool, but do occasionally enjoy going to our nearby family pool for the atmosphere of younger people. All have been well behaved.

Thanks for your reply. I was in the pool with ALL of them to make sure they stayed on same side of pool as me. Kids are kids and are noisy when having fun.

Don't waste your time on that poster. Just hangs out here to rip on TV.

Yes it's MY side of the story and I did contemplate putting it on social media. The main reason I did was because I kept thinking that maybe I was to blame for this woman's reaction. But after I reported it to Andy, the regional manager of this pool, I realized that I was at the right pool and did nothing wrong. And according to several posts, I'm not the only one who has experienced such rudeness at Cattail.

You're right - this is the land of the grumps. They are everywhere. They all forgot that they were once fun- loving children. Welcome to God's waiting room.

Same with pool walkers.

I agree with you about scanning your ID card at pool. This will make people responsible for their uncalled for behavior.

Give me traffic any then a bunch of screaming kids. BUT I do agree with going to an adult only pool if you don't want to hear someones elses irchins

Since you reported it to the regional manager did you find out whether or not they would look into the matter and possibly send a letter to the person reminding her of family pool policies and, if necessary, even temporarily suspending her pool privileges for a week or whatever? I'm just wondering what, if anything, can be done to discourage that type of unpleasant encounter in the future?

Family pools
 
I agree with 100% regarding the family pools. If you don't like children, go to an adult pool where it is quiet.

Please encourage Adult Swimmers to take frequent Potty Breaks instead of peeing in the pool!

I've always maintained that the reason the jerks stand out is because there are so few of them here.

For those of us that have grandchildren, we hope you wear your “Americas Friendliest Home Town” tee shirt and act accordingly
