🏊 Goodman Pool Leaves Unaccompanied Minors High and Dry

• Children younger than 16 now need an adult chaperone to attend Goodman Pool, according to new city rules passed in the aftermath of a recent fracas.
• Previously, only kids 10 and under needed an adult guardian or parent. But after a large fight involving children at the South Side public pool on June 27 in which two girls faced disorderly conduct referrals, Madison Parks officials voted to raise the age.
• While officials said the rule change was necessary to maintain public safety, some residents expressed irritation at the decision, saying kids should be free to swim in the summertime. [🔒 WSJ]
