This isn't freedom of speech it's being rude, inconsiderate and annoying. If people can't play nicely with others they should be asked to leave. All pools should be earbuds only. You should report this rude behavior to the attendant in the rec center.

Of course, loud music at a pool is not a Civil Rights protection nor is it Freedom of Speech. Any adult who would throw a boom box or radio into the pool would be banned from the pools, I think, as well as being liable to pay for the radio.

By all means, personal music at pools by headphones or ear buds only!

Do GBoom speakers float----I think not. But that doesn't mean
I wouldn't give it a try.

A lot of people may be too polite to ask you to stop playing your music at the pool. Based on the comments on this thread, I would suggest that earbuds would be more acceptable than loudly playing "your" music.

What is correct is to enjoy your own music and keep it to yourself. Why would you assume all would like it just because you do? Rather than sharing, I would call it inflicting.
