It's a rough choice to make because the kids weren't being rowdy and were just having fun.

Wow, this story is crazy! It's so entitled to think you can just host swimming lessons at a private pool that you don't pay for. Also, if they were “reserving” the pool so often, how would they not expect to get caught?

Entitled mom and kids use private pool to cool off, ruthless resident kicks them out despite the children's tears: “If word got out that anyone can swim in our pool, anyone would”
As an adult, I can't say I get too thrilled by the prospect of swimming in a pool. However, as a kid, going to the pool was the best way to spend a day in the summer. I loved playing mermaids; my friends and I used to pretend that we had special aquatic powers. We would hold contests to see who could hold their breaths the longest underwater or who could retrieve objects from the deep end without the need for goggles despite the sting of the chlorine. Parents also loved the pool because they could relax and chit chat for a few hours, and all the kids would end up totally tuckered out by dinner time.
In our story today, a mom tries to give this experience to her children. However, the swimming pool that she takes her kids to isn't supposed to be open to the public. Our protagonist ends up pointing out the "Residents Only" sign to her and asking them to leave. Now, he's torn as to whether or not he did the right thing.
