[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All of our friends are at the pool.  The BBQ occurs at the pool.  The kids go to the zoo and museums as part of school field trips.  They're not interested in going on the weekends in the summer.[/quote]

+1  People I know with pool club memberships want to be with people "like themelves" at the club.[/quote]

Which I think is the problem with this society. White people want to be with white people, black people want to be with black people, immigrants want to be with immigrants.....so on. Why can't people just all be together and enjoy each other than segregating yourself?[/quote]

Hello 1960.

The pools are not segregated. They look like the community, which in our NOVA fc neighborhood means diverse.

People join their neighborhood pool to:

Easily socialize with their neighors and kids' school friends
join the neighborhood swim team
Keep their kids busy during the hot days of summer
Someone in the family loves water and swimming
Easy, somewhat cheap recreation
They are low key people who like relaxing and don't want/need to be go go go
Public pools and waterparks are dirty and crowded.  We always find seating at our neighborhood pool because the lifeguards keep a tight tally on entrance and never go beyond the posted capacity limits
They want recreation that is close enough to walk to.
It is the only outdoor activity you can do during the hottest months of summer.

We go the last hour or two that the pool it open and it tires our kids out so they go right to bed

Anyone can join the neighborhood pool as long as they haven't run out of memberships.[/quote]

Actually, anyone can join the neighborhood pool as long as they have the money to pay for the annual/summer membership.  Since race and $ are linked in this country, there are some very white pool clubs in this area.  [/quote]
