I don’t think the kids trashed the pool. A big group of kids, who are new to the pool and don’t know the rules and norms, are gonna be disruptive. They’re kids. At a pool. Ever lifeguard?
The swimclub management really fouled this one up. That they failed to assess and appreciate the impact of the daycampers is incomprehensible to me. But I guess they needed money.
Agreed. And I would guess that most people would join a private swim club just for that reason - privacy, a lesser number of people than at a public venue, and resulting quietness. And most likely, to have only those kids visit who are under adult supervision.
If I paid big $ to join a club and have that very club open up to large groups of people, I’d be p*ssed and would ask for my money back. What’s the advantage to the members if the “private” club is going to open it up to large, and more likely louder groups anyway?
