I believe that I was. I made sure that I took the kids to a family pool and adhered to the rules. Children will be children and I never let them get near her side of the pool where she was playing her radio.

Make sure you say it in a voice loud enough to be heard by other pool attendees. You might add "this is a FAMILY" pool for children and relatives."

I am sure you will get a mouthful, but you will be in the right.

We who were not there can only voice an OPINION. FOUR GRANDKIDS I expect grandma is far more tolerant of them than people not related to them.

This is not the first time that someone has reported rudeness at the Cattail pool. Others have talked about some of the regulars there attempting to chase people away by claiming that Cattail is for residents in the immediate area only.

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.

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..

We should totally organize a get-together at the Cattail pool soon.
