My elder DD1 (age 6) has swimming lesson in a newly built pool once a week...recently they have insisted we remove shoes (outdoor ones assumably as have seen many in flip flops etc) before entering changing area and pool area.....there are many notices, a roped off small area to take shoes off and patrolled by many staff - ok they say for H+S and now in summer not such a big deal (though will be pain in winter with boots and jeans on).....
Today I noticed a small line on notice saying that this extended to not allowing buggies in either - now this WILL cause me a problem (and other mums too I am sure)...I have DD2 age 4 months and draped on buggy are usually coats, bags, swim stuff, change bags...oh yes and the sleeping small baby!
SO it would involve me somehow removing all stuff (unless I want it nicked), getting everything into locker and getting baby out and then get DD1 changed whilst holding said baby, walking DD1 down to lesson, walk back out (is MUCH too hot in there to sit with baby am afraid) and then same in reverse.....bloody hell we just make it after school as it is don't much fancy all this hassle as well.....
Now to be fair no one has said anything yet to me (I took buggy in today)...but noticed row of buggies left outside although one other mum had also taken buggy in....luckily my 6 year old is very good and responsible so could be left watching baby and buggy whilst I packed everything into a locker then went back to get them but if she was smaller and needed help changing etc this would be an impossible task...
So AIBU for being pissed off??
