What’s rude about swimming if they don’t run into you? Does it interfere with chatting or something?

Do you have a problem with uninvited strangers entering and using your home?

Are the ID’s marked differently or do they have to scan the barcode for that info? Do they have a scanner with them when checking ID’s at the adult pools?

The ID cards are scanned when ID is checked.

I do not ever keep my ID on my person when swimming. Sorry, I'm not going to do that. That is just crazy talk.

There were a few others in the pool who didn't seem like they thought it was the end of the world that these two people were 5 years younger then the age requirement. After a very nice visit with them they saud they were gonna head back to the house for dinner with grams and gramps. I didn't feel the need to tell them they had to leave. Matter of fact.. they were more pleasant then some of my fellow villagers I have encountered.

It doesn't matter how pleasant those two were......they were breaking the rules.

There is an age requirement. No matter how nice this couple was, they showed a very decisive, intentional lack of respect to YOU by choosing to violate the rules.

The adult pool is not your personal pool where you get to make or break the rules, or decide who gets to break them on everyone else's behalf.

If you let a 25-year old couple hang out at the 30+ pool, then you need to let the 20-year-old couple hang out at it. If you let them hang out at it, then you need to let the 15-year-old couple hang out at it. And then that 25-year-old couple should be allowed to bring their infant baby and 2-year-old.

When you break the rule to accommodate the interests of one, at the expense of the interests of everyone else, then you invalidate the rule.

We have family pools, set up JUST so that people under 30 have a place to go. That is where they should go.

Here, here!!!!!

Sarcasm taken.
Media manipulation hides a lot too remember. Perhaps TV is quite lucky right now. The 1.5 million SO FAR jumping the boarder - legal, illegal, criminals - half are being bussed to Washington DC (Many busses already) for them to deal with. The other half? TV here we come.

Perhaps you can contact the powers that be at the recreation department and suggest they make more lap swimming times available at the sports pools. Generally, lap swimming time slots are only available early in the morning or in the evenings. The organized water activities take over the sports pools during most prime daytime hours, with Sundays being the exception.

probably avoiding the censor and the wrath of the overlords

Yeah , I’m thinking exactly how dehydrated can you possibly be to spend hours in the pool and not have to go to the potty

I think it's a disgrace when people want to swim in swimming pools!

What is the problem that is being solved by prohibiting those less than 30?

- Is it that at 10,958 days the skin oils change and no longer affect the pool chemicals?

- Is it that you don't want to subject your sensitive eyes to bodies 20+ years younger than yours?

- is it that you want to want to minimize the noise in the neighborhood pools?

- Or is it just that you want to have something you can control?!

My 29yo niece is much more quiet and respectful than some 30-40 yos I've seen. Enforce rules to solve the real problems, don't create problems by enforcing the rules.

Aha, there is the difference. When I looked at the description it said neighborhood (adult) pools are for socializing not sports. How do you swim and socialize at the same time. It seems that people think of these tiny almost home size pools as “swimming” pools. Confused me too, the first time I saw my mother (a long distance swimmer) walk across the pool.

I, personally, would never put my head into that water, lots of pee, bird poo and almost no chlorine etc.

We have 3 types of pools in TV each for a different function. The family pool is for all ages, and appropriate entertainment is often provided. Then there is the sports pool, we probably don’t have enough given the demand, for different types of sports. The third type of pool is the neighborhood, over 30 years old pool. This small pool with the tables to play cards and to read, is like a large hot tub, and is meant for conversation etc. And as a sanctuary from the younger people, with their speed, and squeals and all those good things that come with youth.
