PARENTING: FOR FATHERS COMMUNITY
Community Swimming Pools

Community Swimming Pools

I am a manager of my community pool in my Homes Association.  Normally these pools do not have a life guard on duty but have rules posted saying "No children under 12 allowed without an adult swimmer, 18 or older).  Other rules for safey are posted too: No food, alchohol, glass, animals in pool area.  No running etc.  You've all seen them if you have been in these pools.

This is my first year as the manager and only day 4. We have 214 units in our HOA with about 25% of these now being rentals of absentee landlords.  Most of these rentals turn over every year or two bring new families.  

Just in the past 4 days I have seen very few adults at the pool with their children who are under 12.  Trying to enforce this rule is almost impossible.

Please parents:  Do not let you kids go to any pool without proper supervision. Do not depend on other people to watch your kids.  We have tried issuing keys, but these kids are smart--they just open the gates from the inside.  We did try a pool watcher but they don't show up.  Don't let your kids be the ones responsible for shutting down  great summertime entertainment for the whole area.  Remind your kids that alcohol & swimming do not go good together.

Thanks for reading this.
