[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Look around for a different pool. We were at more of a neighborhood pool, and it was this same nightmare. The part that drove me nuts was the swim team moms who acted like they owned the place. They would literally roll on wagons and stake areas for the entire day (so they’d also have their prime position in the afternoon) and leave the pool yet keep their stuff there until returning for afternoon practice. Their older kids were the life guards and rules didn’t apply to them or their friends. 
We switched and now pay a premium to go to an actual club. It’s run by full time employees, the swim team is respectful - other than 2 home meets and another one if they make the championship, the entire pool is never closed. No one can stake out areas, etc. It’s worth every penny [/quote]

NP, our pool is like Ops and this summer it’s so bad. we literally just left because there was nowhere for my kids to play. only the baby pool and shallow end were open. They took over all of the deep end with extra lanes and the well area they used to practice diving. My kids are older so no use for shallow end or baby pool. it’s like this every weeknight. We live in the rockville area though and it seems all pools here are like this. any suggestions for ones near us that aren’t? We can’t afford a country club-even the “affordable” ones are way above what we can swing.[/quote]

This sounds like my pool (in Rockville), it will get substantially better when school gets out! Unfortunately, that's very late this year.

Oh and also, look at their B meet schedule, if they are away on a Wednesday night, the pool is wide open. Ours happens to have many of those this June. [/quote]
