Children at gym pool

[Brieandcamembert]

I am a member at a gym/ health club. It's not a David Lloyd type place that encourages families. It's very much an adult members place with gym, classes and a pool and spa area. If it's relevant it's moderately expensive. Not high end but not one of the budget places.

Ona Sunday I attend way morning yoga, then go down to the spa for a swim and to use the steam room and jacuzzi.

I didn't know children were even allowed in but the last few weeks a woman has been coming with her two children, around 5&7. They jump in the pool, shriek and swim all over the ace so you have to have your wits about you.

It's not terribly relaxing to play dodge the child and then sit in a jacuzzi with shrieking. Am I a miserable old bat or if you want to do fun swimming (i.e. not lengths,) that you go to a leisure centre and done shriek and jump in an adults spa?

This would annoy me regardless if children were allowed or not. Especially if there haven’t been kid there before. But I wouldn’t say anything if kids were allowed, I would try to back when they weren’t there or find somewhere else to swim. I think places like this should have an adults only time so you don’t have to deal with kids.

Let me guess... is it a national chain with the initials "F F"?

I joined my local club which is advertised as "adults only"... only to find the pool and women's changing room overrun by children coming for swimming lessons! And of course they were accompanied by yabbering parents and quite often siblings, including pre-teen boys sniggering at their first glimpse of a woman's tits. Taking up all the benches, trekking dirt all over the poolside from their shoes, shrieking, etc etc.

The management pretended to be sympathetic but ultimately did nothing about it so I didn't bother renewing my membership after tthe trial period.

@pixie5121 alright, calm down,haha, no need to get so snippy. It's the way you wrote it.

shrieking that loud you can hear it in the changing room is the problem not the fact kids are there .
