Making An Age Limit On The Baby Pool Area Of The Hasson Pool.
I feel with recent events of watching children of an older age walk into the baby pool and act extremely rough, rude, splash young children, and rough house, and hearing the many stories from other young mothers of what has happened to their children, there needs to be an age limit put on entry of the baby pool area, unless the older child can show some type of disability that would cause them to be unable to use the main pool, which also has just as shallow ends as the baby pool. The baby pool should be left for babies, toddlers and very young children to ensure the safety of those age groups. I also ask that Oil City Management should make sure their lifeguards enforce this issue and make sure that when they see older children splashing, hitting, or acting rough around babies, something is done, no matter what side of the pool it is.
Why is this important?
My children have been affected by older children, too old to be in a baby pool, being splashed, pushed, and scared to enter the water due to older children running into the baby pool section, without regard for the younger children and babies. This has not just happened to me, but to many other parents' children, and no lifeguards have seemed to care to do anything about any of these issues.
