Does your outdoor public pool close if there’s a frog or two in there?

The lifeguards kept the pool open and swimmers were allowed to continue with the frogs in the water. At some point they lost sight of the frogs. I am not sure if they drowned but I was surprised the pool was kept open.

The frogs are the highlight of the pool experience. I always call to make sure there are frogs before I even bother to show up.

Disgruntled RMSC parent, is that you?
Jk but no, our pool doesn’t close for frogs. I’d be shocked if that’s any pool’s protocol.

Flower Valley closes for Frogs 3:30-6:15pm during swim season. Lots of frogs every afternoon.

The pool manager should have them fished out with the net, for the frogs' own safety. Every pool has a long-handled net for storm debris. It can also be used to take live animals out of the water.

Next time, ask that this be done.

Close? No, of course not. They fish them out with a net.

No they don’t.

Morning team practice during the summer typically begins with frog catching.

No frog experience but our pool gets ducks. They typically hang out for morning water aerobics but leave for swim team and lessons.

Or just use your hands and get them out.

would be nice if everyone tried to help the frogs get out of the water

Close for frogs!? What do you think the frogs are going to do? Give you warts!? I grew up in the sticks where the swimming hole had snakes, fish, turtles, frogs, and God knows what else. I’ve lived in an urban area for decades now but I will never get over the attitudes towards wildlife here. Some of my neighbors are literally scared of deer and feel that trees should be cut down so that they don’t get sticks in their yard. It’s fascinating.
