Hmmm...maybe these moms/nannies you speak of are perfectly happy, as are the kids, the way they are. Maybe stuck-up and uptight is in the eye of the beholder (i.e., you). Maybe you should find some other problem -- a real problem -- to try to fix.

I love Washington Park pool.
It makes me sad though,to see the white, stay-at-home moms or nannies with their kids. Everybody's so segregated.
If only the lifeguards and other pool staff could get lively, you know, lead some games, or some casual swimming lessons,...anything would help break up the stuck-up, up-tight, attitudes and the with-holding of playfulness of the kids.
