Just imagine... a waterfront community, with several sets of stairs going down into the bay, putting up signs to keep the residents and their guests out of the water!
Who is enforcing this rule? What exactly is "swimming"? Is wading allowed? What are the stairs for?
President Dennis Kralick explained that the new association insurance stongly urged that the sign be installed. Liability.
When asked for further comment, Dennis explained that the policy is now "Swim at your own risk". That's what the sign should say. As waterfront residents, we've always gone into the water at our own risk. Feet cut open by a razor sharp shells --- own own risk.Stepping on a buried treble hook lure--- our own risk. Our responsibility.
Are people really that obsessed with greed and revenge that they might actually sue our lovely association? Of course they are! What's wrong with me?! I have been been threatened with lawyers and lawsuits just for reporting the happenings in the park. Just look at someone wrong, and they're threatening to call their lawyer. Enforce the rules? Some people cuss and gesture, and threaten to take you to court.
We were told by our attorney many times "Do not make rules you can't enforce". I believe there needs to be further discussion from the board or the manager. If you want people to swim at their own risk, please say so. I agree with you.
