[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The people complaining are probably those that also complain that kids don’t go outside anymore. They probably talk about how they were outside all day, but don’t see the irony. I’m pro kids running around, playing, throwing balls. Pools are for kids, you are in their space. Pay for a place with an duly only pool if it bothers you. I think adults have become entitled and used to dominating all spaces, maybe because there are less kids then there used to be.[/quote]

I think it's ok to ask older kids to stay out of the baby pool and not throw stuff in there. And if the shallow end of the pool has a lot of little kids in it that day, again, I think it's ok to ask them to go into the main pool area to play bc the little kids usually can't do that. But otherwise, if you are an adult and you want to swim, use a dedicated lap lane or wait for break or go to an adult only pool.

Don't want to hear kids screaming? Ear phones, ear plugs, or visit when there are less kids. It can be annoying but I have never been at the pool when a kid has literally screamed for a sustained amount of time all at once.

One thing I hate to see - kids running on the deck. I have seen several accidents where kids have fallen and really end up hurt.  [/quote]

The issue is that ANYONE in the pool can get hurt by kids (and adults) throwing around balls. And even nerf balls can cause whiplash or concussion injuries. And that is especially dangerous in pool environments. Get out of the pool and play ball in an area dedicated for ball throwing, like a basketball court or a yard.[/quote]

Oh my god.

Your poor children.

Nerf balls can cause whiplash and concussions?   Yikes[/quote]

Given the high risk of drowning it's a wonder PP even takes her kids to the pool. That's a much bigger risk than an errant nerf ball.[/quote]
