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.

When I was a med student in Houston back in the 80's the Shamrock Hotel in the medical center had a beautiful outdoor 50 meter pool that was used primarily for sunbathing (the Air France flight attendants stayed there during layovers), so a few of us would sneak in and swim laps after class. No, really, we did swim laps. Eventually the lifeguards kicked us out. The hotel was later torn down ("they paved paradise and put up a parking lot"). Thanks--I hadn't thought about that in a long time.
