Just tried our local pool at the Postal Rec Center and to my surprise, Swimming Pool Etiquette appears lacking and or none existent.

“Some” of the guest; not sure if it’s a cultural thing but yelling, loud profanity, drinking from a glass container, smoking and eating while in or near the pool displays a complete lack of swimming pool etiquette which is unhealthy for other guest and just plain rude. Additionally, I believe I even observed an old fart peeing in the pool based on his body movements and facial expressions. GROSS !!!

I realize that many of the guest here at The Villages come from the NE where swimming pools are not as common as in Florida, but it’s time for “some” of us to change our old way of doing things and behave in a more courteous manner.


BTW - For the IDIOT swimming at The Sugar Cane Rec Center this Sunday afternoon wearing a man thong and weighing in at over 275 pounds --- GROSS to the max !!!

Some neighborhoods have more culture than others. Did you research that before buying ? Perhaps you did not notice the lawn ornaments of old ladies bent over and little boys peeing in fountains ?

Glass and smoking is not allowed, call the security guys.
There are people banned from pools because of their behavior.

All the reasons why I have my own pool.

You are having more than your share of trouble. Several weeks ago you wrote that you were "accosted at Publix". Now this. I think your experiences are atypical. But people MAY pee in Lake Sumter. I have heard good data on that.

I have wondered since I read this post of yours from last month who these gals were;

Accosted at the Local Publix

P.S. WHICH exact pool was it that the guy was wearing the thong? Asking for a friend.

One good thing that has happened in more enlightened persons is the realization that body shaming is wrong. While generally this awareness is mostly about not shaming women about weight it also applies to men. Your comment is lacking in civility and etiquette while you are so busy being outraged by the behavior of others.

That's a hell of a generalization for all the problems you are citing. Seems there are a few snobs that hang out at the pools also.

slobs are slobs--no shaming needed

I politely disagree...…

An "HONEST" comment about an elderly gross dude that has a body weight of over 275 pounds, only 5 feet tall and also wearing a thong to a public swimming pool obviously can't see that he is morbidly obese. If only more uncivil persons such myself brought his physical appearance to his attention, then possible his life would be extended by suggesting a diet. Just my opinion....

From The Urban Dictionary :

"haters gonna hate"
A phrase used to acknowledge individual superiority in the face of negative external accusations. Can be repeated twice for emphasis. Often accompanied by a strutting walk away from offending party.

IMHO I have to politely say "WOW"!
