When we stayed at the Contemporary a few years ago, two women were eating lunch in the quiet pool. They had burgers and fries. There were no CM’s around. One of them dropped some food in the pool. I made a comment about the posted rules. They didn’t like that lol, and continued their meal.
The problem is that a lot of people don’t have common courtesy and are unaware of others. I remember this “yahoo” and his kids at Polynesian’s quiet pool that took over the entire pool throwing tennis balls. They were stationed at four different ends of the pool. There was no way to avoid them. No safe area. They jumped up and dove to catch the ball splashing everywhere sometimes crashing into very surprised swimmers. They were also loud and absolutely obnoxious. Nobody stopped them. I had a few choice words to say, but I controlled myself.
it wasn’t the main pool so there weren’t many people to bother.
At the pool we went to at pop there was a volleyball net across the pool and a basket filled with balls. I don’t think my kids would have thought to play if the equipment wasn’t sitting right there.
Correct. Even in the main pool folks swim after hours. Just have to be less noisy and all.
I have no objection with others having fun, in fact, I encourage it. You can do whatever you please in your pool in your own backyard. However, when you’re sharing use of a resort pool or public pool, you should be considerate of those around you. You don’t get to have fun at the expense of others’ fun.
