If someone had complained that a black person, or a person of "insert 
other faith here", was in his pool, would he have written those people 
out of the pool's guidelines?  What State is this pool in, and what are 
the State laws on interfering with hungry babies feeding?

Is there a rule that no one is allowed to immerse their face, or genital 
areas, or sweat glands in the pool? 

One imagines tears, saliva, snot and sweat are common features of the 
human contact issue in swimming pools?  Not to mention all that urine...

Given the anti-bacterial properties of breastmilk, he might consider how 
much he'd save in chemical cleaners, if there was more of it in his pool.
