[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hate adult swim and don’t see the point. It’s 15 minutes of every hour where the pool sits empty and the kids beg to go to the snack bar. We belong to a private pool. For some reason I thought it was a legal requirement, but we are in MD.[/quote] I love adult swim: -adults deserve to have time to swim laps for exercise - it's often impossible to do so when kids are in the pool. -kids need to be forced out of the pool so they hopefully go to the bathroom -lifeguards get a break. I would not belong to a pool that does not have adult swim.[/quote] +1. It makes the pool more fair for everyone. Let's put it this way: for those who hate adult swim (and most likely were publicly embarrassed that they didn't know this very common rule so hate it even more) they get free reign to do whatever they want for 45 minutes of the hour. And then for 15 minutes, the people who were patiently waiting to swim a lap can go and swim a lap or two without getting splashed by that person's kid. So one person's inconvenience of 15 minutes seems not so bad in comparison to the other person's 45 minute wait. And don't forget: It's a way to check the pool for poop as we can no longer force parents to supervise their kids in the pool (thanks FHA and lawyers for THAT ONE) and we can't force people to put swim diapers on their kids. Or swim diapers at all, really. (thanks again lawyers!!!!)[/quote]
