Thanks for your comments, love yours Roberto, we must look like each other looking at your picture. Hammersfan (never mind)I agree with you. Joe1949 I will accept it if it gets voted in or someone can show this law. Candyfloss your reply was edited, aopolgies if I have upset you.

Guys, I will and do respect any rules we have in our community. I just want to know if large inflatables are banned in pools in Spain, is there a spanish law that covers this subject, I cant find one or anyone who can show me one.

I personally think in my case if someone is in our pool on a lilo and its not doing anyone any harm etc I cant see the problem. If lets say the pool has 10 people in it on lilos and people want to swim etc then yes thats not fair. To be honest the size of our pool with 10 people in it, it woul'nt make much differance.I'm a firm beliver that if people leave the lilos in the pool un attended it gets thrown, I voted fro that in our last AGM. My point about the law is people are saying its against the law so thats why we need to ban them and if thats the case then fine Im happy, but I honestly think there isnt a law just talk. The real reason is in 2008 we had a load of holiday makers in August around the pool and I have to say a lot of inflatables and the 10 of so people who live there didnt like it and started to talk about this law. As a few of you have said if things are passed at an AGM then thats it.

Please can someone direct me or show me this law?

Thank you for your valued comments.

But seriousley is there anyone out there that has any official Spanish documentation that outlines this issue, I have seen loads of conflicting comments and really all I want to know is there a law in the Valencian region of Spain covering this issue. I really dont think there is.

I take on board all of your comments regarding if its voted in at the AGM etc and to be honest if it is it is. Im a law abiending person who really dosnt like to rock the boat, but I dont like the way the few in commumity are trying to run it to there advantage and not for everyone.

thank you.

No offence taken Roberto. 

another funny thing our community like this web site no one does things up front, funny how not many people put there real names to things isnt it.!! Enjoy

Hi,

I don’t want to be offensive like Joe(shows a lack of intelligence Joe) but popping people inflatable’s won’t help the situation (Roberto) I suppose if I was living in Spain and all of these people suddenly turned up daring to enjoy themselves in what you think is YOUR pool, I wouldn’t like it. Sorry guys the fact is in my situation we all own the pool and the gardens and we all respect them, the permanent residence need to get over that. Is it coincidence that the only residence who want to enforce this rule to the enth degree are from the UK, we have Spanish, French and other none UK ex pats who don’t have a problem with it. As long as it doesn’t harm anyone else or spoil anyone enjoyment I really don’t see what the issue is. If I ever see anyone on holiday at our place with Lilos I would always explain the rule but say just take them out when the chosen few get to the pool to do what they want.

Apologies if I have offended you I’m just having a little bit of banter with you, but seriously can anyone direct me to any officially law that cover our part of Spain (Valencia). The more I research this the more I’m begging to think there is no such law and it’s just a health and safety recommendation

Please if anyone has any links or websites, please send them. Thank you.

** EDITED - Please respest terms of posting **

Our pool is 25 meters long and 10/11 meters wide, its set in gardens that are two or three times bigger than the pool. In august the busy month you may see 30 people around the pool area out of August you will see 3 to 5 people.

I tollay agree if its passed at the AGM that Lilos etc are banned then that’s it they are banned and I will stand by that, BUT in our community they only want to ban them in August, that cannot be right.

Hi Everyone

We own an apartment on private residence near to Villa Martin, Costa Blanca South. Last year some of our residences decided that in the month of August Lilo's will be banned in the pool. Our pool is big its 25 meters long we have 90 one bed apartments belonging to it and around 20 people live there on a permanent basis. During school holidays the number of people around the pool varies from none to the most I have ever seen is 50. Because our permanent residences don’t like the fact that people our using "there pool" and "kids are running around shouting" they have said it is illegal to have lilos in the pool and "they will have to pay for a life guard if lilos are in the pool". We have pointed out that it isn’t just there pool and kids on holiday do run around etc and if WE have a lifeguard WE ALL would have to pay.

This subject was subject to major discussions in this year’s residence meeting and it was decided that swimming aids are allowed in the pool and large inflatables are not allowed. No size or description other than that has been talked about.

We have informed our children that they can use there inflatable’s in the pool but only when the pool isn’t busy and they must remove them when they come out of the water, we think this is reasonable.

Could someone please advice me are Lilos Illegal in private pools in Spain?

This subject believe it or not is ruining our otherwise beautiful residency, it’s un-believable.

Thanks & I await your valued comments.
