to think that if there are two pools, that the small, shallow, warm one could be restricted to small children and non swimmers ?

DS (3) wanted to go swimming yesterday afternoon. Usually we go to our local pool where they can make the usually deep end v shallow and separated from the rest of the pool. But DS has been put off it as there are always teenagers running around in it and pushing into him etc.

So, decided to try next nearest pool which is v new and has a main 25m pool plus a studio pool 'perfect for children' which is adjustable floor. Got there, v nice, and studio pool is in a totally separate bit with doors to it from main pool. Lots of under 5's in there.

But still lots of tweens/teens coming in to muck about, racing up and down the pool, diving under the water without looking at where the little ones are etc. Plenty of room in the main pool to do this

So, AIBU to think that maybe this pool could be restricted to those that need a bit of a quieter enviroment to enjoy swimming ?

I understand your frustration. Just remember though your kids will be teenagers one day!

This thread is a useful reminder of why I don't go "indoor" swimming.
