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.
This must be an exciting event, since you have done it more than once. Browbeating one of your neighbors who is working at a rec center for a few extra bucks, is not a macho thing. They should not have to put up with your kind, that think you are special.
