Well, for some of us that live here our number one priority is the use of the adult pools for keeping our health as many of us can't walk, pickle ball or golf for health.

I think many of you dismiss how important the pools are for those of that can't join in golf and other amenities. We wish we could.

But it's still important to US that the pools maintain villagers only, like you think it's important for golf courses, pickle ball, etc for members only. And we still pay the same CDD as YOU do. Be respectful for those of us that can't enjoy the mainstream amenities. We still pay the $200 like you do.
Below is a sign that I would like to see adapted to all our pools, courts and golf courses, clearly stating the trespassing statute. The statistics cited above are ambiguous, but if they CAUGHT 168 freeloaders in 5 months, we can assume there are many more, and even one is too many. Yes, it would cost a lot to stop them, but I would offer another solution---prosecute those caught to the fullest extent of the law and publicize it area wide. If these trespassers realize that the consequences of taking a dip in our pools significantly outweighs the benefit, the word will get around that we do not tolerate this type of behavior. If they are a minor, prosecute the responsible parents.
