OP pool change swims in controversy

A seemingly small change to the aquatics schedule in Ocean Pines set off a firestorm last week and the directors have called a special meeting today, Thursday, to discuss the controversy.

Resident Gary Miller, a member of both the clubs and aquatics advisory committees, noticed the change in the spring/summer issue of the Ocean Pines Activity Guide released on April 4 and brought it to the attention of others in the community, including several board members.

On page 26 of the Activity Guide, the Oasis pool, formerly called the yacht club pool, was listed as the “Adults-only pool (except for Sundays June 4-Sept. 3, 2-6 p.m.)”

Page 27 included a blurb for the new “Sunday Family Funday” at the Oasis pool, as well as a corresponding adults-only event at the Swim and Racquet Club pool from 1-8 p.m., Sundays from June 4-Sept. 3.

This was a shock to some members of the community because the Oasis pool had long been an adults-only facility. According to several sources, the changes were made by interim General Manager Brett Hill without consulting the other directors.

Proves OP is not family oriented. Where is the kids pool? These are a bunch of snobs just like the bunch in OC. Glad I never got that ignorant.

C'mon people... There's five pools in OP. Four of them allow the kids.
One pool - just one - is set aside for the people that just don't think that your laughing, screaming, Marco polo-playing kids are that cute and that much fun.
I'm all for it...
