[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our pool is saying if they don't charge families a lump sum payment of $2500 per family plus hike up dues, they may have to shut down (even though there is a long waiting list).

We were just adding up all the costs for swim team, and food donations, stroke and turn, guest passes and our current dues - and that's already $2000...We had a budget meeting where it was like if you can't do a lump payment we will let you make a 3-4 small payments with interest over a year or so. But the tone was very much like only ask for a payment plan under serious duress otherwise you want the pool to die. Does this seem normal? Especially in this economic climate? It feels like we are building a pool for the boomers grandchildren to enjoy as teens. It really skeeved us out - or maybe we are just naive. [/quote]

What is the 2500 covering- how many families/members/etc? Are they unwilling to take loans or is this because they havent increased dues for decades and have loans that have come to roost. Speaking of boomers!!!!  :roll: 
We have the same problem at a smaller scale. Years- decades really- of the board putting things off and now its year after year of we need a new x and a new y and a new z. These are KNOWNS as in a roof replacement. Bathrooms are shite. 
They also have lots of rules that make little kid stuff not fun- ex. no diving for toys at the bottom of the pool- but the adults can bring alcohol to the parties. And theres lots of social events for older folks, which again, great but the pool pays for those and then stuff for families is pay per event.

Adults having alcohol isn’t really a great example of rules that favor older people.  You want them to say legal adults can’t drink alcohol at your pool?[/quote]

Alcohol doesn’t belong anywhere near a pool, it’s a huge liability.[/quote]

Are there pools that don’t allow alcohol?[/quote]
