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?

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.

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

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. :)

I took the word to be "naked" too.

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!:icon_wink:

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.

Another of your rants, you speak of what you have no knowledge.
