Well, for one thing the 11 year old boy diving into the Adult pool with his 16 year old sister while mom casually reads the sign on the wall with the rules, gave me a clue…

Have the trolls who monitor home violations branch out and do it.

First a sign that states "Must Have a valid Villages ID and Show I D upon request". Failure to do so means immediate removal from the area.
Have those who refuse trespassed. Non-residents will be trespassed and a restraining order issued that forbids them on villages property.
Villagers should understand this is for the protection of your rights, property, safety.
It seems a small issue now. Let's keep it from becoming a big thing. If we don't protect our amenities we could end up losing them.

While it pains me to state it, we totally agree on this issue. I would also suggest that it needs to be extended to short term rentals as well, especially Airbnbs

Regional Centers check ids for every event. They are on site.

Recreation centers have an on site staff and sometimes 2 at all times. Their rotation is 60 minutes walk through. Checking on those who are new since the last walk through.

If you are at either a Regional or recreation center you can either walk in the building to an employee or find the employee roaming around the pool area at the regional center to make a complaint.

My guess is you’re speaking of neighborhood pools also named adult pools over the age of 30. Community watch does a round robin of checking IDs as they pass by the pools on the route, the average is about 90 minutes.

If you were concerned, you can always call community watch from the adult pool that you are having issues with your Description of a description of a non-villager resident resident, and ask them to come and check on IDs.

Will usually respond within a half an hour or at least that’s my experience since 2007.
Then again at One of our 4 homes with neighborhood pools, the non-welcome club will hound the crap out of a new person. If you don’t live in this neighborhood, you need to leave and go to your pool.
Sometimes the elderly females are unhappy just not to share a pool for all residents, but sometimes the look of a new resident.

You might want to mention your concerns, sounds like many have free rein of all the pools you frequent, and are questioning their status. Or maybe not recognizing residents who travel from one pool to another to find a quieter pool atmosphere

My wife goes to the pool often. I go occasionally. The “monitors” only check ID’S for those not in the water. People know that. Until that changes you will always have non-residents using our pools.

Nobody is going to take that bait, so why not state what you mean?

Totally agree, rules are worthless unless enforced. If rules are not enforced, word gets out and people take advantage of the situation.

Actually they do not check everyone or even all the time. Been to quite a few club events and there is nobody checking ID's.

Public
 

Other than rec centers and executive golf courses, the general public can go anyplace they want in the villages. To have someone monitor 210 pickleball courts morning to night, check everyone in and out of the water at pools, and everyone who walks in a rec center, is unrealistic. Many times the person at the desk is busy with paper work and can’t monitor the front door. All the monitoring is hit and miss and if a non villages wants to get in a rec center or swim in a pool, not that difficult. Executive golf pretty tough to sneak someone in.

We must live in different areas. I have gone to dozens of events by at least seven clubs in at least six rec centers and have had my ID checked at EVERY SINGLE ONE.

If someone is in the pool and has removed their “I don’t live here” t-shirt then how do you know they are non-residents? When you learned that they were non-residents, did you get on the phone and alert the staff?

It’s far too easy to “know” something in these posts while having absolutely no knowledge in real life.

We should be using gate cards like Lakewood Ranches uses.

Who owns the roads there?

I did. See #148
