My experience with the various sports pools is that dusk is determined by the recreation department employee working that evening, who typically seems to be in a hurry to end his/her shift. I have gotten into it a couple times with workers who insisted it was closing time before sunset. When I asked for the name and phone number of their supervisor, they suddenly realized it wasn’t yet close to dusk.
If I was the employee I would have given you the supervisor's name and then told you to leave. If dusk is to be determined by the rec. department employee working that evening who are you to question him or her. These folks don't make enough money to put up complainers and there is always one in every pool.
