[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hated it when my toddlers were in the baby pool and older sibs came in so I made a promise to never allow my older ones in after the stated age limit.  I think it was 6 and I have kept my promise.  So, those of you with little ones, remember how you feel now  and when you are back in baby pool with 2, 3rd, or 4 th child don't let your older ones in either.  If everyone remembered this, the pool or playground would be a much more fun place!  [/quote]

I agree with this and its especially annoying when the lifeguards call for "adult swim" and the 7-8 year olds come rushing over to the baby pool.  Personally, I think the whole adult swim thing for the entire pool is ridiculous--the pool is huge and they can create a section for it, but I digress.  That's the time when I usually take my kid to the swings.

On the same token, I wonder what parents with kids who are a few years apart in age are supposed to do.  At our pool, kids can't enter the main pool until they are potty-trained and the baby pool supposedly stops at 6 years old (although that rule is never enforced).  If you are there by yourself, you can't let your kid swim in the main pool alone but the baby isn't allowed in the main pool.  I don't have this problem myself as I only have one kid but I try to be a little understanding of those with bigger kids in the kiddie pool area because I'm not sure what else they are supposed to do (at our pool at least).[/quote]
