You could tell she thought it was “her pool.” When she finally left she took her loud radio with her and all we were left with was the sound of happy children swimming in the pool.

No need to hold back in front of the kids, if you were at a family pool you were totally in the right. The world is full of AHOLES and it would be a good learning experience for the kids to watch first hand how to deal with them.

In a public place this comes at the cost of making some other people suffer. What I see described here is that there are some older people who want to enjoy the rec pool and there are some children who want to enjoy the rec pool. There is nothing wrong with teaching the children how to behave in public reasonably (it sets them up for a good social life later), however, when and if other people are unreasonable (ie. expect children to act like considerate adults) there is nothing wrong with showing them how not to be bullied either.

I took my grandsons (also noisy, rambunctious and were having FUN) to the same pool, had the same experience with two couples who didn't comprehend "Family pool." Same reaction.

I have owned a home in the villages for 2 years now and have never felt so unwelcome here as last Sunday at Cattail family rec pool. Had my 4 grandkids with me in the pool and keeping them on one side of it away from others. Apparently a woman thought this was her private pool and that we were too loud and unruly. She aggressively accosted me in front of kids and used foul language so I could not respond like I wanted due to my kids being close by. Then a old man decided to walk in front of me and put in his 2 cents. I made a call to Andy the regional manager of pool to make sure I was at appropriate pool for families and that what my kids were doing was ok. He agreed that I did nothing wrong and if happened again, to get a name and call him. My point: if you want a quiet pool, then you need to visit an adult pool..there are over 20 of them!! Family pools are for families with children and they are loud and splash-don't ruin it for them just because you're old and grumpy..
