"Adult Swim" is a Violation of the Federal Fair Housing Act- discriminates against families???

... These are private pools we're talking about. Your private pool still has to abide by the law.

This case is under the FHA so it’s only about condo/coop/HOA pools right now.

It’s a safety check — of the bottom of the pool!

You don't decide whether my kid is tired or not. I decide that. Do I get 25% discount on my kids since pool is not available to them 15 minutes in an hour?
If lifeguards need a break, then all need to come out of the water. Nobody should decide who gets to be in it and how long based on gender, age,race or what have you.
If you decide that my kid needs a break, maybe your grandma needs a break and you. The sun can make anybody need a break.
If my kid needs to use a bathroom, maybe your grandma should use a bathroom and change her swim-diaper.
We don't decide who takes a break and who doesn't based somebody's age. Same goes for swimming ability-you don't decide that my 8-year old who can swim, can't swim but your grandma who never learned to swim can, or she woudln't be in the pool. Grandma can't swim but nobody would suspect her because why is grandma at the pool. So, while you are too busy getting the kids out who have guardians more likely than not, you don't see grandma drowning because grandma adult and you expect grandma to know better. Grandma lost her top long ago and wondered to the pool.
Even when experience tells you that kids need saving more often than grandmas, you don't decide to keep them out at some point. And if you do, the same break applies to all. What's the big deal if breaks are so important?
They are not important. They are there to give grown-ups the time and many have come to love that time. Even if you love that time and have convinced yourself that this is the best for the kids, it's against FHA.
You don't want kids at your pool, you go to grown-ups only pool. You want kids out, you also take the grown-ups out for the same amount. Problem solved and all happy. Don't argue with the law. Go change it if you don't like it, but don't act like it isn't there. In fact, it's time to apply it.
You want grown-up only time, match it with children only time. All happy, all get a break at some point. except grown-ups don't want the break. Well, neither do kids.

Maybe you need a break from the pills?

Does that take 15 minutes? And wouldn't it be easier to do without adults in the pool?

How many adults are actually in the pool for adult swim? At our pool, sometimes it's a couple adults. Sometimes it's no adults. And our adult swim time is 10 minutes.

The over-lawering here is an embarrassment to the profession. We should apologize to those who suffer from actual discrimination.

My brother's pool doesn't have adult swim, and whenever we visit, the pool is constantly having to close because some kid pooped in it. Huge difference from our pool, which closes for 15 minutes every hour.

As an old curmudgeon myself, I love adult swim. I wear prescription sunglasses even in the pool, and I love being able to dip in and cool off without kids splashing my glasses.

Surely there are ways to deal with this problem that don't involve throwing most of the swimmers out of the pool for 1/4 of the time they're there.

DP. I'll stick with adult swim time myself. Our pool has never had to close because of poop. Yuck.

We belong to a private pool. For some reason I thought it was a legal requirement, but we are in MD.

The point is that the legal ratios for lifeguards go down, so lifeguards can get a little bit of a break, and facilitate their rotations, and the pool can stay within budget. It is a legal requirement, depending on the staffing model the pool uses, and the number of people and lifeguards.

Let me guess, you don’t vaccinate either, do you?

It’s a real stretch to think this case has application to adult swim, but okay.

This. I like adult swim for this reason. Otherwise, it turns into a negotiation and “5 more minutes”s.
