My indoor pool has 3 double doors that lifeguards (1 in particular) insist on opening b/c they are "hot". All the toasty warm air goes out the doors and water temp drops. Generally, our weather here has been in the 60's, windy, cloudy, and allergies are bad. When I asked them to shut the doors, the new excuse is ventilation. An email had gone out weeks ago about the great HVAC system they installed, so I questioned if opening these doors is helping or hurting the HVAC's job. Pool manager then switched to the excuse that "I don't know, just following the recommendations of the Health Inspector." What the? I hate swimming just to stay warm but I'm also concerned about proper ventilation.
Thanks, Karl and Calvin for the replies. Those are some questionable excuses! :blah: I know it's b.s. Another issue is that the two sets of double doors are just a few feet from the lap lane pool. So cool, windy air blowing on wet skin is not pleasant. I used to swim at another facility where the same issue occurred, but enough of the "seniors" in the therapy pool yelled so that they finally put a sign on the door to keep it closed. Right now, I think people are so grateful to have a pool, they won't dare complain. When it drops below 50, we'll see what happens.
