I am new here, we closed on our house in June and moved all our furniture down but we are not here full time yet. I am down here this week to tie up some loose ends and a little R & R. Today I finally have time to go to the pool and read a good book. After a little while a couple comes in and hooks up their iPod to speakers and plays it loud enough for the whole pool to hear.

Is this the norm at the pools here? I finally left because I couldn't concentrate on my book. Am I unreasonable because I don't want to listen to someone else's music.

Thanks.

I don't care where you are or whether it is a public pool or a private one. That is just inconsiderate of others no matter how you slice it.

I agree.
I would have gone into the rec center and spoken to the attendant.

Wow! Exceptionally rude of them. Which pool?

happened at fishhawk for us couple came with their teens and took over the whole pool with their sound

[raynan]

I thought the family pools, including Fishhawk, had music piped in anyway.

Usually the piped in music is not as loud as a rock concert.

This was at Sanibel, no pool attendant.

As much as I dislike confrontation, this seems to be a case where someone should have gotten up and said something to the offending party. It didn't have to be in a nasty way, just a short explanation that not everybody has the same taste in music nor desires loud music while trying to relax.

Probably the same type of people who play a television loud enough on their lanai that the neighbors hear it with all their doors and windows closed. Some people are just ignorant.

[shcisamax]

I totally agree with Captain Jon. It is often in the delivery.

[buggyone]

Wow, sounds like some have not learned to play well with others. All it takes is you to go over and explain their television on the lanai is disturbing you and it is written in the covenants that noise is not allowed.

I think that was the smart thing to do. What's a week.
