[QUOTE=Happydaz;2106403]I think the Cattail family pool is a particular problem pool where some local adults consider it their own personal pool. If I run into this situation again I will report it. Anyone else going there should be aware of this situation and report it as well. Since we are a rule driven community we should respect that family pools are for children and adults and neighborhood pools are for adults only. Follow the rules people.[/QUO


Thank you for your comments. We thought that we were following the rules by taking them to a family pool. I can see by several other posts that this seems to be a problem at Cattail. Will not hesitate to report it if it happens again.

Yes the Villages has someone from every walk of life but I did keep away from her side of the pool, making sure she wasn't splashed. I'm voicing my opinion because what she did was uncalled for and others should know. FYI...I've met alot of nice people here!

When I go to a Family pool, I expect the kids to make noise and rough house. When I go to an Adult pool, I usually witness the same.

[QUOTE=Happydaz;2106496]You may have the answer there. Maybe they have a lack of neighborhood, i.e. adult, pools south of 44.[/QUOT


The new DeLuna section has an adult pool, just a few minutes down the road from cattail..

In today world of children being killed in school, and in drive by shootings, I am glad you have moved to a retirement community. So children are less likely to be exposed to the violence of beatings, and apparently striking women because you think they are long overdue.

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.
someone said it best. Go to the adult pool. Stay away from family pools or better yet put a pool in your back yard

Good suggestion. If they want a private pool, put in a private pool. Because it is almost a guarantee that the same people will get into a confrontation over something else at an adult pool.

We traveled across country to be here and saw every kind of person....it was awesome. When we arrived in The Villages we noticed that 90% of the folks were happy and that 10% were entitled and visibly had that on display.....I mentioned that observation to my sales agent and she hugged me and said you get it. After 3 months my opinion has not changed.....it is a very vocal 10%. Once we got that, we only focus on the 90%!

The OP stated it very well. Folks who don't want to hear children laughing and screaming and splashing in a pool should not go to a family pool. That is as simple as that. There are adult neighborhood pools for those who wish not to be around children. That would be me.

Proof read.
I don't think "spellcheck" entered that jibberish.

Where in the world did you get that Idea? Children are most certainly welcome in The Villages. Just ask all those grandparents who welcome their grandkids for visiting. They key word is "visiting". Children do not reside here but are certainly welcome for visits.
