POOL NAZI's & Warning! My kids started to drown 3 times

SUMMARY: And lifegaurds do nothing except blow whistlles at "rule breakers." Dont take your kids there if you want them to live.

DROWNING FACTS: Lifegaurds seem to not pay attention to drowing people, namely my kids. I happen to be nearby for two of them, and my friend for the other one. They were completely submerged because they were accidently in an area too deep (and dont swim)

My kids are learning to swim, and some other kids accidently pulled them (lifejacket) into the lazy river, and in another case, my infant jumped into deep water unknowingly during a class and nobody noticed, etc...

Apparently, lifegaurds are trained to only look for people breaking rules, and not actually people in trouble.

POOL NAZI's: You will go deaf because of the frequency of whistles being blown. There must be 1,000+ rules there.

I hurt myself in the pool, enough to go to the hospital for xrays, and the only thing I heard while it happened was the lifegaurd blowing his whistle at me while I writhed in pain--seriously?

YOU CANNOT No touching the rope that borders the waterslide pool, you can'tsit on the edge in the same area, you can only use the waterslide in one position, you cant help your own kids on the playground, you cant use anything in the pool except if it's lifegaurd approved, you cant wear a shirt if you're fat like me, you cant swim there about half the day, because it's closed for "open swim" even though you even pay for classes, want to learn to swim, etc... basically because they are inefficient and paranoid it seems you must watch your own kids if under 6 and within arms reach, you must shower before entering pool (learn how to treat water properly people)... And most importantly, if it's perceived that you're having any fun whatesover, you will be required to leave the pool IMMEDIATELY.

All of these rules were discovered my first day there! I would hate to go back a second time and find more!

YOU CAN (because there are no rules against such): take your kids there especially when they are sick, encourage your kids to pee in the pool pick up on the lifegaurds (hopefully it doesnt distract them from their job too much) You can take baby Orca whales and bottle-nosed dolphins into the pool

Many lifegaurds there lack friendly interpersonal skills, but not all. Some are quite nice, so...

Me and my wife have been coming to this rec center for years to shower and never once have we been told about this 30 minute limit to shower... the last time we were there we were in the family bathroom like we do every time, and it was around 9 p.m. mind you, they don't close until 10pm on weekdays. But this one lady not sure who she is on the pole of employees but was extremely rude banging on the door while we're in the middle of our shower and demands that we leave, and gave us 5 minutes to get out or she was going to call the cops and trespass us. There are so many other ways she could've approached this all of the sudden issue... needless to say after being customers/guests for years we are no longer going to be going to this rec canter which is very unfortunate because we loved the place the staff was very nice besides her. And one time we were there just a little past closing time and she turns the lights off in the family shower... very very dangerous! One of us could've been injured because it was pitch black. That was very unprofessional and quite the liability! She needs to work on her Customer Service skills! Thanks for the great service everybody else, unfortunately we won't be coming back to this place. There...

I love the pool in this rec centers other programs my husband and i are going to go swimming there this week with my husband after work its a great place to unwind !! But right now i am very concered about a post. I just real ... written by a younger male child ,who enjoys swimming there also! which i think is great! But he. Seems to be seriously reaching out for some type of help and or action by some concered adults and possibly. Some employees at the rec center!!, to help him and other children maybe even some of the fathers to go in there from time to time and clear out these older kid that use the recs shower and changing áreas there. It seems theres a group of older teens to young adults that are spending long periods of time just hanging out in the shower and changing áreas males. The child child felt very uneasy with this and with the group of older kids doing it.it seemed to me he may even have felt quite violated and even threated by these older naked individuals hanging out in there! I truly feel there is a nessaty for...
