Default Music and adult only pools

Does anyone know if there are guidelines/rules regarding music played by individuals at the adult pools? There was an individual playing very loud music today and we asked very nicely, including that we enjoyed his choice of music, could he turn it down a bit. It never happened. The volume made it difficult to have any conversation. Just wondering.

There was a thread about this in 2012. It's many pages long. Perhaps it will answer your question.

Personal music at pools

Opinions differ. I agree with people who think that quiet enjoyment of a pool is a given. Other people think they should be able to "entertain" others with their music. It's good that we have many pools from which to choose. And earplugs.

Personally I feel it is totally inconsiderate to play LOUD music anytime, anyplace.

No one should be forced to listen to someone else's choice of music at the pools-that's what headphones are for-a nobrainer

Ask nicely the 1st time, warning the 2nd, and "look everybody, this radio WON'T
play underwater" the 3rd.

Someone occasionally brings a radio to art studio at Laurel Manor.


I don't like it at all.

I think they should be asked to leave and take their radio with them! If you have an instructor I would think it would be their place to speak to the inconsiderate person in question.

I agree. That's even worse than taking one to a pool. Any artistic endeavor requires focus. Tell them to stop filling up the creative space in your head with junque!

Default Blasting radio

It does bug me when I have my earbuds in and someone blasts a radio near me....and then goes in the water leaving his radio blasting.....for long periods of time. Yes, I know I can move to another part of the pool....and let the radio bug other people. But.........I truly believe it's inconsiderate of someone to blast a radio playing "their" type of music.....IMHO.

That was my suggestion. I was told I was violent. Have consideration for others. And this is from me who loves music. But it is not fair to play your music when others might not want to hear it.
