We would like to apologize for the Pool not opening on schedule at 12 Noon. The monitor scheduled to open was originally going to be late, but ended up as a no-show. We found out about it around 3:30PM. One of the maintenance guys was scheduled to relieve the pool monitor at 4PM, and the pool was opened then. But, due to the confusion, there were very few people going to the pool that afternoon. So, we eventually closed the pool about 7PM.
We have had nothing but trouble trying to find reliable Pool monitors. In the 2015 Pool season,we have had 6 or 7 monitors primarily due to almost all of them not being very interested in working. For the life of me, I cannot figure out why because this is probably one of the easiest jobs around and paid above minimum wage. All one had to do was check to make sure the people were residents or guests and get a suntan. On occasion, they had to enforce the rules.
We also had a BIG problem early in the season with large numbers of individuals using the pool who were not residents or guests and who refused to listen to the monitors. They just happened to show up in large numbers and in a few instances, we had to call the Police to get them out. I imagine this put an excessive strain on the monitors and may have influenced the lack of interest. This problem was solved by reinstating the Pool Passes and we have not had this problem since.
