GE......I don't think your response has anything to do with what I consider " social swimming". I think you might have thought you were responding to someone else?????

Sorry, I was just "using" you as a starting point to respond to several that range from the workmen shouldn't use the restrooms at the pools to one who thought "the law" required that they have access. I doubt most men have a problem with it, but I was curious how women felt. I also believe there was a thread along these lines some years ago.

One of the reasons the bathrooms at the pool and mail stations are accessible to the public is that if they were not available then we would be having people's bathroom problems posted all the time instead of just dog poop posts.

The bathrooms are also there for the use of contractors and lawnmowing people. This is from the people who are in charge in the Lake Sumter Landing office where I went to speak with them about this in person about a year before Covid struck. :blahblahblah:

Ever been to a commercial pool. I grew up in Ft Lauderdale. There was a nice commercial pool I went to often. There were no ids - except when you entered. You could buy a pass and show it as you entered.

My point is, WHY can someone who is not supposed to be there able to get in, why isn't there a locked gate and either an attendant or card reader. Sure, someone could loan their pass to someone that isn't supposed to use it, but fines could be enforced for that.

Don't know, just sounds like a problem that has been solved every where except here, and I was wondering why?

A card reader and a locked gate seems like a common sense solution, especially since it seems most pools are short staffed. Sure, there will still be some scofflaws or those hell-bent on beating the system, but most will not bother to go through all the effort just to get into a pool in TV.

Want violators to leave the pool? Keep a Baby Ruth handy in your pool gear.
Yep! Caddy Shack. Violators will leave in a hurry. Probably most Villagers, too. Those that remain are in for a good laugh.

I guess I should have posted "There IS a law", and then all the retired Lawyers and legal professors that frequent here would have had hair fires and set me straight.
