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. [/quote]

That doesn't matter.  The police are not the enforcement arm of the HOA rules.  Remember this is a poll that is partially owned by the condo owner.  It is HER pool as much as the other condo owners' pools.   If there's no lifeguard present, how is the HOA liable for any accident anyhow?  The bigger liability is the fact that there is no lifeguard, not the fact that a homeowner broke the rules and overcrowded the pool.

[quote]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.

Are they trespassers there without permission of any owners?   Then that is a crime and the police should be called.

[quote]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. [/quote]

Well, I wouldn't either -- not 4 and 6 years olds for sure, even if each child had a parent with him or her.  But I wouldn't bring ANY non swimmers to a pool without a lifeguard, except my own child one on one with me.

But I don't think you can call the police on people for poor judgment.[/quote]
