Mallory Square Neighborhood pool does not have piped in music. Once in awhile someone brings a radio, but if you ask them to turn it off they will. We share these facilities and no one is out to offend.

I'm with you; I love to read and would like no music playing.

If I get to Art Studio first, at one of the rec centers, I go over to the piped in music dial and turn it off.

Don't tell on me.

Want to grove to your music get head phones. I worked on construction jobs in NYC. On many jobs radios were not allowed , it caused too much friction between the workers .

Within an easy cart ride most have three or four adult pools to choose from. "Read around" until you find one that suits your style. Some like background music and some don't. if asked, a reasonable person will turn down his/her radio. If not, in another time I would confront the unreasonable person----now retired and more laid back----I would just move on to another pool.

I hope some of us will resist becoming part of the "me" generation. It seems there's a lot of that going around. Music at the pools? The family pools have it, the adult pools do not. Why should someone want to change that? If YOU want music where it's not already provided we used to use those things called a Walkman with their own set of earplugs. Get one of those. Also, if you want to go to the pool and call all your friends and family or receive calls that are SO IMPORTANT take the phone out into your golf cart. We used to have things called PHONE BOOTHS and they were to protect your privacy and to avoid having everyone around you hear all your business. I won't go into the annoyance of listening to someone drone on and on and on in a voice that carries out into the parking lot and beyond. These people seem to have a lot of information(?) and would like everyone to know it. I don't EXPECT to nap or read at the pool but I do EXPECT courtesy and consideration for others who may deem the adult pools a place of peaceful retreat.

And where is that written? Pools are to be used by residents for their enjoyment, whether it is swimming, lounging, relaxing, reading, or socializing. It is a shared space and people will have different uses for it.

Actually, pools are not only for socializing. They are also for reading and quiet relaxation.

Isn't it great that there are enough pools in TV so that we can all get our needs met.

I used the pool at Mira Mesa Rec Center which is on Rio Grande Blvd. between the Villages of Del Mar and Mira Mesa several times during my rental that ends tomorrow. I never heard any music played there. I got lots of reading done by the pool on this visit to TV.

If you do try the pool at Mira Mesa, please be advised that on Thursday mornings from 10 to about 11:30, they play funshine bingo around the pool. I loved playing bingo around the pool, even though I did not win the big bucks.

We have a pool in the back yard, and the first thing we do EVERY TIME prior to going out back is to turn on the music. This issue would be like asking everyone at the town square not to talk while the band is playing. LOTS OF PEOPLE = LOTS OF OPINIONS. Public places must accommodate the PUBLIC and not the INDIVIDUAL.
