Apartment complexes are enforcing rules and regulations after pool overcrowding issues.
What happened: Over a month ago, a video on social media surfaced of a huge crowd of people at one of the local apartment pools.
In this video, there was an alleged fight and unconfirmed rumors that a gun was pulled, leading the whole crowd to disperse.
Why it matters: While residents tend to overlook the rules at a pool, here is a list of apartment complexes and their pool regulations:
Axis Student Living are allowed 2 guests per apartment and need their resident wristbands.
The Vault is allowing no more than 50 people at the pool.
The Hudson allows 2 guests per resident and residents need their wristbands.
The George allows 4 per resident and a 60 person limit.
Copper Beach allows 2 guests per resident and residents need keycards.
Cambridge- allows 2 guests per apartment and residents need keycards.
Here’s what people at the pools have to say:
“I’ve never had a problem with the people coming out here and swimming, I’m always just here for the sun,” said Kameron W., at the Vault pool.
“The pool at the islands is usually calm but I know of some complexes that are definitely crowded, like Cottage Row,” said Madison M., a resident of the Islands.
“I’ve seen videos of big crowds at other pools, but not here,” said Colby T., at the Vault pool. “I know there was a cooler diving thing going on at one of the pools around here.”
Here’s what some of the apartments had to say:
“No, we haven’t had a problem with overcrowding at our pool, but are aware other places are having issues,” said Emma from Axis Student Living.
“We have heard of overcrowding, but here we don’t have that issue,” said Katherine from The Hudson. “If we see that it may become a problem, we close the pool down.”
As most of these overcrowding incidents happened at Cottage Row, also known as Aspen, this apartment complex refused to speak on the matter.
