as happens....
friend said did i want to go to a class with her at the gym; i said, go on then, after my riding (dismounting) lesson previously booked was cancelled by instructor; class was supposedly 7.30 pm
planned the evening with a view to having had dinner before that.....oops, it was at 6.30 - i was never going to make that.
so thought, swim as usual ... children in the pool after their witching hour of 7 pm, jumping in (not allowed) underwater wrestling (dangerous) , almost falling on me... and so on - and it wasn't quiet, a few trying to do lengths
so i gave up after 15 minutes and went round to reception (still in my swimsuit, dripping!) to complain..
if anything goes pear shaped and someone is hurt, the club can be sued, and will lose, if this doesn't get sorted....
i'm not bothered by children being in their after their time if they're being safe, not getting in the way, and being properly supervised by whoever they are with. but these were not being.
I've had trouble with children at my pool too. There are lap lanes set aside for lap swimming only and often the children will cut through or play in them. Fortunately the adults and lap swimmers have started to take charge a bit and either warn the kids themselves or insist the lifeguards enforce the rules. You are so right. It can be dangerous.
