Someone sneaking in for a dip is not going to be a danger to my family. Perhaps I have seen too many evil things done by bad people to view this as a simple "you can't use the pool" issue. Then again my job is to prevent the worst from happening so that may raise my level of concern.
I don't really think or worry about evil much around here, but many do. I suppose it has a lot to do with your life experiences and/or where you come from. Things are more dangerous than they used to be everywhere I know but no more dangerous here than at our country club pool back in Ohio IN MY OPINION.

I don't take anything with me but a towel when I go because I walk. Most of the time I remember to take my I.D. I am absent minded, and always have been. I don't take a bag with money, (nothing to buy), with sun tan lotion, (don't use it.) Sometimes I remember to take my sunglasses. I go to the Odell pool and so far I have not seen anyone who I think doesn't live here. They annoyed me a couple of times when they checked my I.D. because I have chatted several times with the person at the desk as we go in and out of Odell frequently, and I thought that she would remember me. (silly me)

They do come out almost always when I go and usually we are in the water. Dear Daughter and I usually don't sunbathe. We live within site of the pool and use it for a quick dip a couple of times a day.

I don't think there is a problem at Odell anyway.
