I’ve never heard of an HOA that does not require permission to bring more that a few guests to their pool. It is a huge safety and liability issue to have too many people in the area around a pool at the same time.

They need to have the proper number of lifeguards to be eating the water and need to know to bring in extra staff when there will be extra people around the pool area.

I totally agree with you, but in this specific situation there is no indication that there was any lifeguard on duty or anyone checking people and guests into and out of the pool.    Even if there had been the remedy was a private one, not to call the police.  You call the police when you have belief someone is committing a crime, not when someone isn't following the rules in their own home or jointly owned property.

The resident who invited guests to her jointly owned pool wasn't some stranger. She was a property owner with ties to the area because she owned property there.  There are ways of dealing with people you own property with -- it is called a Homeowners' Association. [/quote]

Yes, but if they weren’t following the rules, they needed to leave. Taking it up with the HOA isn’t going to do anything to help the situation in that moment. Fining the owner after the fact doesn’t help the here and now situation of there being too many kids in the pool- especially if no lifeguard is on duty. That would be a liability issue for the HOA if someone were to get hurt. And none of us want a child to be in a possibly dangerous situation around water.

My HOA’s pool staff call the police at least once every year or two when people who are there without permission refuse to leave. They have all been white kids, so no mention of racism was made.

And I wouldn’t even think of bringing 30 people to my pool without filling out the paperwork in advance. There’s no way it’s a good idea to have 30 people around an HOA pool with no lifeguards on duty. That is just a bad idea all around.
