An ongoing battle in my Aquatic Center (AC) is that cleaning staff use cleaning agents to clean windows, all the metal fixtures (and there are lots of them), 3 shower stalls, and floors while people are swimming, at at prime time - lunch hour times from 12 to 2. Despite my pleas to clean after hours, they insist that the cleaning be done while we are swimming. I know many will get on my case about this, but I've been a die hard runner/swimmer, tennis player for 35 years. I value my health and breathing in cleaning chemicals just seems to contradict the point of exercising. My argument is that they wait until classes empty out before cleaning, yet feel no need to do the same in the AC. If I could find another AC, I would leave, but I don't feel this a battle I should have to fight in this milennium. Oh, and I'm a senior who suffers chronic sinus infections. Ironically, they don't enforce the shower rule, and that really skeeves me out.:bitching:
If I were you I'd just quit and join somewhere else. My current team swims at several different facilities; I have no problem with any of them. Once I belonged to a place that had several practices I didn't agree with or thought were unsafe. I talked to the management one time. They really didn't want to do anything about these problems, and didn't see them as a problem. I immediately quit after this conversation and I've never regretted it.
