[quote=Anonymous]I wish our pool would post and enforce standards with regard to the baby pool. A few years ago a lifeguard yelled at one of my kids for using a foam squirter in the baby pool, and we never brought one again. But no one else seems to know that, and some people don't seem to care about anyone else. Just the other day I had some adult woman chasing her (well over the baby pool age) daughter around the baby pool, both of them blasting anyone who was within 10 feet. A few signs and standards, and the occasional intervention by a lifeguard would be worthwhile. I think a lot of the time, particularly on a hot Saturday afternoon, the offenders are guests of regular members who just don't know any better.

But I do think there are different standards for the regular "big" pool. If you don't want to be splashed or squirted or whatever, you shouldn't be in there. So I don't police my older child playing marco polo or squirting his friends in the big pool. I still watch but I don't monitor his every move. The lifeguards do whistle if the mayhem there gets out of hand.[/quote]
