Changed Operating Hours for Resort Pools

[Wizzard419]

It is silly, but at the same time not all people can legally consent/agree. So until minors and the mentally disabled can give consent, the rules are what they are.

Someone is responsible for minors and the disabled, so again, take responsibility.

[Wizzard419]

Yes, but what happens if one gets away from the parents? Short of chaining them to the bed, there is no way to 100% guarantee that they wouldn't be able to get in.

People should watch their kids. My parents knew where I was at all times. Again, responsibility. I will end with that.

[Wizzard419]

There is a difference between "knowing" and watching. Take a single parent, for example, odds are there will be times their kids are not within visual range of them and as the drowning campaign noted "It just takes a minute". It sucks, but at the same time, if you need said resort accommodations after hours then you will want to switch resorts or go pool hopping.

It has always been, swim at your own risk, when there is no lifeguard present hasn't it? If not it should be. People shouldn't need to be babysat every minute. We need to take some responsibility for our own safety, and stop blaming others for our stupidity
Forgot about the hot tubs . Most people use them at night right? Maybe they're not included.

I couldn't agree more. While the drowning is tragic, I tend to think there were some extenuating circumstances such as an underlying health condition or rough play. There's nothing official that says this - it's just my theory based one some of the details I've read about the event. Plus as I mentioned in detail previously, this doesn't really make things "safer". It's probably just a change so they can say they did something (important in our "sue happy" country).

It's unfortunate that this change needed to be made. BUT.....if this does not apply to the quiet pools too then it makes absolutely no sense.

I would also think the Hot tubs will not be affected by this.
