Okay, I know somebody's gonna bust me on the unethical nature of what I'm about to ask. Rest assured I'm not actually planning to do this, but with the misery of swimming in my current pool the idea did enter my head, sort of a "what if" type of thought...
Have any of you find upstanding folks ever used a hotel or apartment pool where you weren't staying or living, um, without permission? I know, most hotel and apartment pools suck, but occasionally there's one that's of sufficient size to get a workout that beckons to you over the fence. "Come swim in me..."
Anybody do this regularly and get away with it? Anybody have any interesting stories of running half naked from hotel security hell bent on having you charged with tresspassing?
Once again, no lectures, please. I've been reading a lot of material from Hunter Thompson lately (who swims, by the way--or at least he used to), and his weird shenanigans have my own imagination coming up with all kinds of daring, if unethical, solutions to the problems of life.

Shaky...you're so silly, and funny (in a good way).
I'll admit that I've done it. In fact, growing up, my parnets would take us to hotel pools all the time! I was always so paranoid about it...but, I was also jumping off the high dive at age 3 or 4. So, it was a good thing--and fun. Plus, it was the 70's, and nobody had any money...let alone a couple of teachers like my parents (that's how I justify it). No harm done.
If I was desperate I might attempt to sneak in a hotel pool if it was worthwhile...but since I'm not in that situation, and there is no hotel pool worthwhile, then it's a mute point.
In college--I snuck in an apartment complex by the university that had a terrific pool. My friends lived there, and I learned the code to get in. Nobody ever used the pool! AFter awhile though, I was really feeling guilty and paranoid so I stopped going. But it was fun and worth it when I did it.
You're not a bad guy thinking of this--and sneaking in is really adventurous, and fun. It's not something to do all the time, but can get your heart going, and be exciting.
So, go do it! And report back!
