Thank you Goodgraces for the validation.

UPDATE:

I just spoke to Sunny Robertson, the new Aquatics Dir. and she apologized for not posting the changes and for the lifeguard not being fully versed in the reason for the changes.

Appearently the National Medical Board for the YMCA has recommended no child under the age of 12 be allowed in any Hot Area facilities – even the hot tub. I personally disagree with this – but if they change the rules and POST those changes I will respect their right to set their own rules and determine if the facility still meets my needs accordingly.

Slightly off-topic:

I am feeling “lowest common denominator-ed out” – My children can’t go into the hot area because some people MIGHT let their kids stay too long and that is a health risk. My oldest can’t bring any food into her classroom that has nuts, eggs, dairy or gluten because some children have allergies and …my kid’s food might fly into their mouth? They’re 9! They know if they’re allergic and (hopefully) are way past the stage of putting everything they see in their mouths…smh.
