First, it is not necessarily an effort to teach any one a "lesson". People were asking about how to regain the opportunity to use the pools as they were intended. Some suggested that maybe the people didn't know that they were not supposed to be doing exercises in the neighborhood pools. They had already tried all the appropriate routes, so I offered a suggestion that hopefully would have been acceptable. If we say nothing when people are doing wrong, then we accept what we get. I don't use the pools myself, was just trying to help.

I am new to TV and have occasionally used my neighborhood pool. I prefer the early hours when few folks are present. Those who are do their own brand of exercise, use their own water weights and take up little space. I have heard about this issue and some of my new friends at my NP have said they are very much upset by it and should it happen at out NP they would put up a fight. I have also been told that in one case it is suspected that the 'instructor' receives payment. In another instance I have been told (second hand) that there has been some physical contact. This is really distressing and give TV a bad name, which I hope does not spread. I noticed that at the pools there is a large sign displaying pool rules which indicates activity, equipment and permitted occupancy. No more than 52 people are permitted in a pool at on time though I do not know how this is enforced. It sounds as if it is not enforced based on some of the comments. I view this not as an effort to accommodate but as a weakness. In reading the recreation news I noticed that in order to participate in exercise activities at SP a person must have a signed waiver to participate in organized water activities. Though I am not a lawyer I imagine this is to address any problem with liability (we are older and sometimes exertion can be a problem). Would not the issue of liability apply to any of these 'organized' activities at the neighborhood pools since they are not sanctioned by TV and since they seem not to be interested in managing activities on TV property?

:BigApplause::mademyday::agree:

One day this pool situation will turn to a physical confrontation and maybe someone will be hurt. It's not up to villagers to 'self police' to enforce the rules. A rule broken,ceases to be a rule.

You just may have hit upon the one thing that would get the Developer's/Rec Department's attention--liability.
