Default violators in the pools

Can anyone tell me why they no longer check i.d.'s in the pools? We saw people smoking, and also commenting that if you see a community watch person come in to jump in the pool so they don't check your id. We've seen numerous people who were obviously under the age of 30 in adult pools, It seems to be out of control.

There is a phone at every residence pool. Call and report to recreation department when infractions observed nothing we can do on this forum, can only support your complaint.

Had my ID checked just two weeks ago.

If there is a problem at a particular pool (there are no problems at mine) then it might help to call the Recreation Department and have them come and check IDs more frequently.

There is a village rec center manager on duty who is responsible for checking IDs. Each rec center oversees about 2-3 pools. You can call the rec center and ask the manager on duty to check the IDs.

Sometimes one has to assume a little responsibility.

I can tell you that we've been checked 4 times in the last month at the Allamanda family pool.

Three times over the winter I saw young people in the sports pools during lap swimming times who appeared way to young to be Village residents. Each time someone called the associated regional recreation center. One time they had rental issued resident ID’s and were allowed to stay. The other two times they had guest ID’s and were told to leave. Apparently, there are homeowners who don’t know the rules and tell their guests it is OK to use the sports pools?

not "their". it's a hobby to educate those who failed grammar or are too old to care.

I don’t use the pools but I do bike or walk in different areas of the villages, I see the villages security cars quite often checking the pools, at 83 I’m not sure I can tell how old someone is anymore so I wouldn’t think about complaining about younger people at pool , but I would definitely call to complain if someone was smoking ,but I can’t help thinking that this isn’t a common violation

Not unusual for most of the 125,000+, that don’t know rules on pool use. Probably a few minor instances.

Smoking whilst swimming is very difficult.
I had a Dickens of a job keeping cigarettes dry.
Much easier since I changed over to smoking a pipe!

Putting a paper bag over your head can help for awhile

Even if they have resident IDs, they can't be in those pools unless they're 30 or older. Sports pools are not for under 30, just like the adult pools that aren't sports pools. If you're under 30 you can use the family pools, and that's it - whether you're a visitor or a resident.
