Way too far for me, especially since I only have a golf cart this year due to border crossing restrictions. Glad you have that rule written on pool properties. We have to work on that north of 466. But thanks for the suggestion!

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?

OP, why not ear plugs?

You won’t hear music nor the conversations.

Noise is muffled with ear plugs. Noise cancelling head sets will eliminate noise.

I have a question regarding rec centers' pool etiquette which I couldn't find an answer to when I looked at the rules on line. Do you think someone playing music for all to hear is okay at rec pools? I personally would never do it and don't appreciate being subjected to it, especially when I'm looking to have peaceful read on a lounge chair by the pool. I found this happens at the beach too, even had people do it on a tennis court up north. Thoughts?

Perhaps a call to the Recreation Department (which is for all of TV) and ask why pool rules are not posted at pools north of 466 and if radios are allowed or not.
Rather than getting 80+ different opinions on here..........

Pools are for swimming or something less in the Water. Want lay around in lawn chair don’t expect the public to obey you’re needs. It’s public amenities. We don’t get what we want all the time. Yes, loud music that don’t like in obnoxious, but in general the public is obnoxious.:duck:
