so I'm tired as all get out of the kids in the outdoor pool getting in the lap lanes:frustrated: But that isn't my gripe. Decided that I would go back to the indoor pool today. Our indoor pool has a fairly high-A line type of roof. When I walk into the pool area one of the guards has an electric fan hooked up by an extension cord on the deck (not exactly in water, but water around/close to it) pointing up at him in the guard chair. I question him about the safety of that and his reply was that he was hot. I'm sure it is a lot hotter up in the chair than on the deck, but..... I went to the pool office and looked for the aquatics manager and she was at the other pool. I went up front to find some other management and according to everyone I talked to, no one was in their office. I decided not to swim today. For those of you who are familiar with pool safety, do you think I was over reacting?

I can understand the guard being hot too, but isn't that kinda part of the job... sitting or standing in the hot sun or under an umbrella, or on a guard chair in a stuffy indoor pool?
Geek is going to love this! When our pool was remodeled several years ago they increased the size of the exhaust fan (which wasn't on today) at the end of the building and put in 6 roof ventilaters. The darn room drew like a chimney... hair would fly in the indoor air currents. After about a month of the noodlers and mother/baby classes complaining about the breeze because they were cold, the roof ventilaters were permamently closed.
