I'm frustrated. Why?

I've been in the pool all of 6 times this year.

Why?

Because when it isn't full of families and screaming kids, it's locked for 'invisible maintenance' (IE: Supposedly they're Doing Something to it, but there's no one there, and it stays Mysteriously Locked until 'family time' rolls around in the afternoon).

I'm at the point of wanting to strangle everyone in the pool (why aren't you using the pool in the back where your apartments are located, folks? You know, the bigger one that's meant for the kids and families? The one right next to your two, three and four bedroom apartments...unlike the single and two room ones up front where I am and most of the residents are single adults and couples?), and taking a bat to the office management.

Yes, I'm *that* frustrated. For the past three weeks, whenever the pool has been clear of said kids, and I've gotten dressed to swim and walked over, the pool has been locked up. Every Single Time.

I'm just hoping once school starts, I'll have a better chance at it before it gets too cold to swim.

And yes, I realize I sound like a selfish, spoiled, bratty little bitch, but when last year I didn't have this problem, and that pool is the only free and non-heat stroke inducing exercise I can do right now, and I've been dealing with this for two months...I'm getting just a LITTLE peeved.

I think you should officially complain to management. I mean, the pool is part of your perks of renting there.

I've mentioned it when going to pay rent or whatever. In all honesty, it's an inconvenience to me, but it doesn't violate their policy. Any resident can use any pool, so I don't have a leg to stand on really.

Now, if they had made the front pool an 'adults only' one, yeah, I'd have a reason to complain, but they didn't. And to be fair, with kids in it as well as grown-ups, the pool is down more often for cleaning and chlorination (especially since SOME residents don't know how to help keep the pool clean. :( ). So it would be perceived as a timing problem I'd have to work out for myself, rather than a 'violation' of any rules or lease agreements. Hence, the frustration on my part. For whatever reason, the residents in the back of the complex 'discovered' the front pool this year, which changed the demographics from 'occasional adults with occasional (mostly) well-behaved teens using front pool' to 'hey guys, it's a free-for-all!'.
