Not an option for me unfortunately.

Default Loud Music @ Pools

I would say something to one of the workers at the rec center or the person checking people in at the pools.

You might want to read you're deed restrictions you would have received when you purchased your home.

You do not get checked in at the neighborhood pools and they are not adjacent to a rec center.

OP, why not ear plugs?

You won’t hear music nor the conversations.

Yup, but it’s hard to be friendly to inconsiderate people. It just encourages them to be more inconsiderate.

i'm not sure where you live, but if you'd like to come over to where we are, south of 44, our pools have signs posted with rules. one of them is no radio's. only 1 time did i see someone 'break' the rule, and it didnt even bother anyone. he had it @ a table, listening quietly to sports while his grandkids swam. the neighborhood pools are even quieter.

It's annoying if people play their own music plus play it loud. I experienced something equally annoying. A woman at the Mallory adult
pool talked for more than half an hour very loudly on speakerphone. I was in the pool and found it extremely rude. Plus, there was a man in a lounge chair in her vicinity trying to relax and maybe take a nap plus a woman trying to do the same and the talker seemed to be oblivious to anyone around her. I hope she reads this and gets the message.

You are kidding, right? Grin and bear it ? I don’t think so. Everyone else also has a right to enjoy. The “friendliest” doesn’t also mean the “dumbest”.

Its rude, and you shouldn't have to but you can look for a quieter pool.

We have found some here in TV feel they are "entitled." When Souillere villas were being constructed in 2018 we enjoyed the pool there because not many people lived in Soulliere and the pool was never had more than 3 or 4 people. There was one bimbo who used to be there at times who thought it was OK to blast music while she marched in the water. My wife would have liked to drown the witch, but I told my wife I would really mind having to visit her in jail. No we didn't confront her just left the pool and went back to our villa.

I can't believe all the useless suggestions. Do what I do. I simply take out my hearing aids! Works every time. Also, I take them out at home when my wife starts to complain. Works like magic - makes life so quiet and appealing.
Huh? What did you say?

If you guys want to know a secret, there is a neighborhood pool that almost nobody uses. It's where I stayed when I had my LSV in 2011, the Lakeshore Cottages just east of the sales office at LSL and at the foot of the Morse Bridge. If you're coming off Morse at the first light there is Bravo Pizza on the corner and Winn Dixie to the left, straight would take you to the square, instead turn right and turn again. It has a gate, it has a very nice pool and only has 53 homes. I stayed for a week and used the pool everyday and I was the only person there. The very first home on the west side overlooking Lake Sumter was Gary Morse's home, I don't know who owns it now. Gary obviously liked it for the convenience but it was so quiet in there and out of the way but yet you're only a short walk to the square and stores.

I kept up with some of the homes in there, Gary Morse's I believe sold for about $700K and the one I stayed in sold for about $600K. They're nice homes but you're paying for the location, the lots are very small and have no room for a pool, a big lanai or a golf cart garage. However, when you walk around on streets it makes you like you're on a movie set. You don't see anyone and the homes are immaculate and you have sidewalks with curbs and it's very nice. Here the location on this map.

I think you are asking the wrong person to leave. As far as I know at most pools radios are not allowed. Why should it be you who leaves?
