Ruby, i think maybe you should read my posts again, at no point have i told others what to do, all i have said is that i find it hard to belive that people would rather use the indoor pool when it is hot enough to use the outdoor ones, if people would rather use the indoor one then that is fine by me, having an opinion hardly makes me a bully does it ? As for making alterations to the outodoor pools, yes i agree with you, our pools are very nice, but it is not ideal to only be able to use them for three months of the year, and all i have done is make suggestions, that in my opinion would save the community money and allow our pools to be opened for longer without a massive cost, again these are only ideas and any such change would have to go to the vote of the community, personally i don;t care how we do it, all i want is to be able to use the facilities which i have bought into, and yes, i am extremely annoyed that when we are over in September we will not be able to use these facilities , and yes i do realise that we had a budget inflicted on us by the useless seasun and we have had to work to it and that the people in control of this have done as best they can, but i am concerend that if we leave this until march to sort out that we will have a repeat of this summers fiasco next year. So , if having opinions and ideas make me rude and a bully, then fair enough, i will leave that for you to decide, after all like me ,you can have your opinion, you are entitled to it.

Hi Ruby,
No i would not want to take my child into a pool which is not maintained, but as i said in my post, if the pools were reduced in size by a very small fraction or an alteration made, we would have no need for lifegfuards and this would represent a massive saving to the community and to our fees, the cost of maintaing a pool all year round , or at least from April to October would be a drop in the ocean , or should i say pool , compared to the cost of the current lifeguards. All we want Ruby is what we were promised when we purchased, you may be happy using the indoor pool in September, but i know many others who would much rather use the outdoor pools when it is warm enough, and i find it very difficult to belive that in september when the weather will be around 30 degrees for the majority of the month, and the outdoor pools will be almost the same temperature as the indoor one that you would rather be in a stuffy indoor pool ! but if we do manage to keep the pools open in september, and as you say you would rather swim indoors in Sept,, at least you would have plenty of room to swim in !

Hi Ruby,
just to keep one outdoor pool open all year round would only cost about 3-5 euros each extra, per month , i am not saying we would swim in it from november to march, but it is possible form april to october, but anyway if you did fancy a swim in december you should have the choice, other ways of keeping the pool open all year round would be to reduce the size of them , they are only just over the legal size of 200sq mtrs which means they need to have a life guard, i have been informed that both pools would need to lose approx 10 sq m, each, this is nothing in comparison and you would hardly notice the change, the other option is to build a dividing wall under the bridges, only a divide just above the water level which would create two pools , one shallow and one deep, making both pools under 200sq mtrs, no lifeguards are then needed, but the overall pool would still have the same apperance, surely if budget ands costs are a concern to you then this would be your favoured option as although there would be cost for work on the pool, long term we would have no lifeguard costs which at present are over 5000 euros a month, all we would have is a small cost to keep the pool clean and working which would mean a massive saving long term to the community budget, the result would be, everyone can swim when they wish , and long term savings are made on community fees not a difficult choice to make is it ?

Hi Ruby,
It is not my intention to argue either, it is just that me and many other owners are very unhappy with the pool opening times ( have you been on the commuity website www.verathalassa.es ) and the fact that the outdoor pools are closed in the middle of sept when they are warm enough to use, even in the cooler months through the winter we should be allowed to sit round them on sunny days, which if my memory serves me correctly is about 320 in spain !, it is also very frustrating as nothing seems to be being done about it either. Anyway no hard feelings, will maybe catch up with you in Sept,
Regards,, Andy
p.s .. yes i do have a young son 18th months, and he loves the swimming pools !! when they are open ! This message was last edited by andysmith on 8/13/2008.

You may have missed my point Ruby, what i am trying to say is that it is crazy to close the outdoor pools on the 15th of September, and no i will not be happy at having to swim in an indoor pool when the temp outside is still more than likely to be up in the mid thirties, if i wanted to swim in an indoor pool i could have bought a holiday home at Blackpool or even cheaper go my local gym more often ! , but like your kids , i too hate swimming in cold pools but the outdoor pools will still be more than warm enough to swim in. What i am trying to politely say is that not everyone can fit in with these crazy pool hours, some residents work and would like to swim early or late, some poeple can't take holidays during the 15th of june to the 15th sept, We have all bought on Thalassa because it offered such faciliites, and as such would like to use them when we wish all year round, After all is that not what we are paying a community charge for ?
I understand that seasun have left us in this position but i am becoming increaseingly frustrated that no action seems to be taken to put this situation right, and it has been indicated that it will not be on the agenda until March. As our next visit looms it looks like wewill have to break the rules and climb the fence yet again.
Maybe see you in Sept, Regards.. Andy
