Not in The Villages. There are age restrictions for the pools.

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.

Consensus on those other threads…….there was no consensus.������

I have no problem with workers using rest rooms at the pool.

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.

The restroom right off Madero Dr. on the front 9 of Tierra Del Sol has to be the most used bathroom in the entire Villages. Sometimes multiple contractors vehicles are lined up waiting to use the bathroom, and they have no problem using the woman’s room if the men’s is occupied. It’s rare that the golfers find an open bathroom between holes during working hours on a weekday. Needless to say, the bathroom can get kind of nasty as the day progresses.

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.

Yep, most aren’t bothering now.
Card reader , locked gate unneeded expenditure.

I am the one that asked, if it was the law, and you referred to me, but didn't answer my question.

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.

I have no idea whether or not such a law exists. I was just reciting the spectrum of opinion on the matter

If there was a card reader at the gate people who do not belong here would ask the other occupants if they could open the gate for them.
