Ours is “no guests” and somehow our “unaccompanied minor” age jumped three years since pre-covid era. Obviously the boomers running the hoa are just going with their own personal preferences now under the guise of COVID. |
What’s your unaccompanied minor age? Ours is 7. |
Wow. That’s really young. |
They do have to pass a swim test first. |
| It was 11 and now it’s suddenly 14 for no stated reason. |
That does seem high, especially considering it is double our age. |
| 7 is way to young and below the recommended age to leave alone even for a short time. 11 is more the norm. |
Well, it is what it is. Few parents leave them at age 7. |
+1, I would say 11 or 12 is normal. |
I agree with you, so we paid for summer pool. Was there today, and it was jam packed with kids several of them coughing and with runny noses. So aggravating. This is why we can’t have nice things. Keep your sick kids home!! |
| I wonder if we were at the same place. I heard someone coughing repeatedly and was really surprised. I couldn’t I’d the person or I might have said something |
| Well lots of people cough and sneeze during allergy season. |
| Covid-related restrictions on outdoor pools have been dictated by local authorities all along. In MoCo at least, the guidelines have been overly restrictive, not restrictive enough, often unclear, and even more often contradictory. Recently the county completely threw the doors open and left it to the individual pools to decide what to do. Quite a switch. Our pool has take a gradual approach to lifting restrictions being most mindful of kids under 12 (the unvaccinated). Better to think it through than just walk away. In the end, each person and family needs to decide what makes them the most comfortable when it comes to going to an outdoor pool. |
My guess is because 11 and U aren't vaccinated, and 14 is probably old enough to clearly recognize that they are a teen for purposes of whether they would automatically be expected to mask up. |
Yeah, that must be it. It probably has nothing to do with at least trying to keep people safe. |
