Can I fly over it, yes, the law in no way prohibits that, and in fact I have flown over this home on at least one occasion.
The questions that must be addressed is "should I" and more importantly "would I" as it concerns what is deemed "surveillance" under FS 934.50 "Searches and seizure using a drone - Freedom from Unwarranted Surveillance Act" and the "intent" of such a flight and image capture as defined under FS 934.50(3)(b). Such a flight would not be allowed under the law. So no, I cannot and will not fly a drone over those pools, not even for "educational reasons".
Google Maps and the Sumter County Property Appraiser's web sites provide publicly available images that do not apparently violate any privacy laws.

Society is produced by our wants, and government by wickedness; the former promotes our happiness positively by uniting our affections, the latter negatively by restraining our vices. -
