Last year my granddaughter was told to wait two hours before using a noodle in the pool. I saw another senior with a noodle before the appointed hour and was told that woman had a doctor's note. Noodles are devices to encourage young swimmers. They should not require doctor's notes and be considered toys.

glad to hear that pool 3 is opening again but the children of heritage hills are residents too and should be allowed to enjoy the amenities offered as openly as all other residents. There needs to be a middle ground and rules should be established that are fair to all residents, and not only cater to one demographic.

I highly encourage the committee to consider an adults only pool where those who don't want to be around playing children have their own safe haven. Having only one pool that allows toys is insufficient for the amount of children who want to swim and play on the weekends, and is unfairly limiting to a growing population of this community.

It's a pool! If you want to go in and "not get your hair wet" there should be a two times (30 min intervals ) set aside for "adult swim" and then noone would have to worry. Pool are for children.

My son is 10. He loves to swim in the deep end of the pool one but also loves to play with a soft ball while sitting on a noodle. I'm not sure he would like to go to the pool with the "no toy" rule. Kids don't like the pool like adults do. They get bored if they can't play.

I think that the limitation of toys to one pool for "kids" is absurd . The population in HH is more than 50% families with children in the household and increase that number for visiting relatives. So why are the Committees creating one "kid/toy" friendly pool rather than one "adult only" pool? As an adult with a severe neck injury, I have been unable to go into the pool until this season and it has been incredibly therapeutic using a noodle (which is considered a "toy") to float so I can benefit from water exercises while not causing further injury to my neck. Our kids and the kids we meet at the pool have benefited in their swimming expertise as well as their social skills by the use of toys in the pools.

With all the kids who live in Heritage now, not to mention those who come to visit their grandparents, one pool with toys is just not sufficient.

Toys at one pool only is unacceptable. Why is there hesitation to create an adults only pool? I urge the committee to create a haven where adults prefer not to be in the company of those 16 and younger when enjoying the pool. Children have so many needs and allowing toys at one pool only is a a very unfortunate decision..

I don't see why the toys can't be used during limited hours at other pools. Some pools are more convenient than others or less crowded for some families. One of my sons is on the spectrum and when a pool is too crowded it can be overwhelming for him and cause a meltdown. It would be nice to have the option of going to one of the other pools if a pool is too crowded but still be able to use his dive sticks or a noodle as he continues to learn how to swim.

The population is changing. There are 5 pools here and there is only one child friendly pool. Maybe another solution could be another all day child friendly pool that is larger and sunnier. The others could remain toy free.
