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.

coming from, Shaky. Having swum in inner-city pools (London, UK) for 5 years, I really sympathise with you! I mean, I've swam in pools where people simply- and regularly- WALKED down the lanes (and across the lanes) rather than swim (as the 4.50GBP/ph lifeguard examined his fingernails); I've had collisions, been kicked by obnoxious school-brats, been punched, verbally abused by some psycho-women, and I won't even discuss the condition of the water!
However, as a well-meaning condo-dweller, I would hope that you would target the motels rather than apts... I hate it when outsider people here use our pools and/or gym- hey, I pay the rent, you know? Besides, I do know that the leasing office here will call the cops if they caught someone hopping the fence (they live on site, along with security), so be careful!
Good luck!
peace...
