Men and women can only be in the pool together for two hour per day and on Saturday
LAKEWOOD -- Men and women can only swim together at certain times of day in a Lakewood adult community, according to a report on APP.com.
Residents of a Lakewood adult community are engaged in a dispute over co-ed swimming at the community pool. Most of the residents at A Country Place are Orthodox Jewish, which led to a change in the rules at the outdoor swimming pool in the 376-home community, the report said.
Men and women are only allowed in the pool together from 1 to 3 p.m. weekdays as well as all day Saturday.
Orthodox Jews don't allow men and women to swim together.
Of the 91 hours a week the pool is open, 66 hours (or 73 percent) are only for swimmers of one gender, the report said.
At least two non-Jewishs resident have been fined $50 each after refusing to get out of the pool when co-ed swimming hours ended. Neither plans to pay.
