Sad given the supposed family nature of thus place. Oh well not the first time

I have had two experiences with the pool attendant and lids. Once we were at the family pool and the kids were playing with a kush ball. The soft kind. He came out and said they were prohibited, Then they started to drop little torpedoes (small plastic rings) and search the bottom for them. He then said those too were not allowed. My husband, who is a very quiet sort, went up and said this was ridiculous what could they play with. He said basically noodles. When asked why they had that rule he said because the adults didn't want to be splashed. IT was a family pool. He looked at us and laughed, If it is fun they cannot do it. We all laughed. He was pleasant throughout I guess all pool attendants were not made equal. LOL
The second time a man at Miona tried to tell my son who was 35 and living with us for 8 months, that he could not swim there because he was not a resident. I explained that he was issued a residents pass by TV. He said you have to own a home. I pointed out that resident means lives there, not owns there. Ryan just kept swimming. All pool attendants are just human as we all are.

We use Manatee regularly for a host of different things. The Rec Center staff there has been consistently helpful and friendly. I am not questioning the OP's comments but assume it was indeed just the pressure of the day. If I understand how all this works, the Rec Center attendant at Manatee has the responsibility for multiple pools - not just the family pool at Manatee. They also have to take care of everything within the Rec Center. They can't both do their jobs and be at any single pool all the time.

While you're at it, thank God you don't work here. I would think some Villagers are not fun to work for!

The pool attendants seem to be attracted to you,,, you might want to consider that a compliment!,, people love to look at cars even if they're not buying them
