To think that cameras shouldn't be allowed in a swimming pool

Took my dd (4) swimming this afternoon to a well known chain of health clubs swimming pool for family swim time.
There was a woman and her two daughters (I'd guess 7 and 9) there taking photos and videos on a waterproof go pro type device. They were pointing it all over the pool (not just at each other) and underwater and Stuff. Made me feel really uncomfortable for my daughter and also my non bikini body so I told lifeguard subtlety who then promptly went over and told them to put it away.

The mum was clearly upset at being told what to do and spent the next 30 mins talking/arguing with the life guard about it and shooting me dirty looks (she'd clearly deduced it was me that had complained). Surely if she is allowed to do that some dodgy dirty character could come along and start taking photos too?!

There's signs all round the pool that say no mobile phones (caneras aren't mentioned). Aibu to have thought she was in the wrong?

Surely everyone knows you don't take cameras into swimming pools or has etiquette changed nowadays?

It's bad form to resurrect a zombie thread for many reasons, including but not exclusively, the original poster may not want to be reminded of something that happened a long time ago, a new reader may get invested and not realise that the original issue was in fact dealt with some years prior.

And finally this is not the behaviour of a princess my darling. ,👸 More like a 'Troll' I believe.

Are you accusing me of being a troll? Surely you know the rules about that? No?

Afternoon princess.

If you could kindly send me the link with the rules. And I'll be more than happy to read them. And then respond.

So the thread has not been removed. But your not allowed to comment on it.

I would really appreciate the link.

Many thanks
Peace be with you X
