Pull everyone out of the pools or off the courts, line them up against the wall, and demand IDs. That will certainly find the outsiders and teenagers freeloading off the residents but at what cost? The lighter touch approach likely is an attempt to cater to the residents who want to enjoy the amenities without feeling overly policed.

The current approach clearly isn’t working for some pools or some people.

Perhaps a period of increased enforcement? Would that make sense now or in the fall when population increases again?

Technology-based solutions sound good but will be expensive.
