Was at the Ashland Pool yesterday when I saw what was assumed to be a black snake, by the shaded table and chair area. Fortunately a neighboring lawn maintenance guy happened in to use the bathroom ( is this where neighborhood lawn guys usually use the restroom?) and used a chair to push it out a pool area gate entrance. The snake was rattling it's tail (no rattle sound though), and appeared very willing to strike if it could figure out how to reach the guy. If he hadn't been there, what would should we have done? Sadly, none of the folks there were of the heroic nature.

I think all pools have a phone. Listed at the phone is a number to call if there is a problem at the pool.
Or, you could have just given the snake one of these LOL
