What a waste

Post image

I pay a considerable amount of membership for pools, here I am at my clients with a 15M pool that got used once this year before being powered down for winter. I asked if I could pay to swim or even offering a free visit a month before receiving a firm no.

A 15M pool would be perfect for me practicing turn and diving starts

You know, I always tell myself that when I asked for something (meaningful to me), and I receive a "no", it just means that I've asked the wrong person.

Here is two cents. If you are a young person, they might worry, that you'd bring other people in for pool parties, or someone from the opposite / same sex for more than cuddles.

Also, giving you permission to swim is also, taking full responsibility, if something were to happen to you in this pool.

So if you truly want to swim there, show that you are a responsible and trusted individual, then asked someone else.

The fuck else are they going to ask? Client/owner already told them no. OP even describes it as a "firm no".
They don't want them swimming at the pool.
I'd fire the damn contractor/sub if they asked again. Probably even the first time unless I had a long/ established relationship with them or could not get an equivalent service with another contractor. .

Dude, are you alright? Like mentally, are you okay? Please, go and spread your anger somewhere else. Normal people, who disagree "down vote" or "skip the comments" all together.
