silverthorneI'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.

Date: 2008-07-31 04:28 pm (UTC)The problem is: huge influx of other tenents using it this year (which is not against the rules), usually from 4pm until it closes (sometimes past that), which is when I'm finally home from work. There's rarely more than a ten minute window where I'd have the pool to myself or only be sharing it with other adults who I won't run the risk of mowing over when I'm doing laps.
As for the maintenance, I really wouldn't be able to dictate as a resident what's 'necessary' maintenance, you know? And since we've had a rash of various water-bourne viruses and infections locally this year, although it's a pain in the ass, I'd rather they close it down after heavy use and chlorinate the hell out of it rather than catch something I don't want. I just wish they'd do it during the early moring hours when people are less likely to want to get in yet, and then open it back up before noon rather than wait until 3-4pm in the afternoon, when the parents get home and can bring the kids to the pool (because there *are* rules that say kids under 16 are not allowed in the pool area without an adult).
