Strange Rules at Buhr Pool Park in Ann Arbor


Tonight we visited the Buhr Pool "tot splash" for some water fun. The boy has lots of fun playing in the 2' wading pool and they provide toys for the kids as well.

However, when trying to figure out when the pool was open I looked at the website which suggests the wading pool is only open from 10:30 to 1pm which is totally wrong. I figured this out by calling the park to find out it is open daily from noon to 8pm. Who is in charge of this website?

When we were there today, an annoucement came over the loud speaker at 6:50pm saying "it is now time for 'adult swim' so all children need to exit the pool for 10 minutes until 7pm." I looked at the lifeguard like "seriously? you want my 1 year old out of the 2' pool so adults can go swimming in it?" He said "yes."

???

I am the kind of guy who questions these things. Why would they need "adult swim time" in the tot splash pool?

???

I guess that is the government for you.
