[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Would this be a violation at a private swim club?[/quote]

Of course.

Fair housing laws apply there as well. [/quote]

It depends. You are thinking of "private" pools that are amenities of community associations related to housing, which is why they fall under the FHA clause prohibiting a discriminatory limit on privileges, services or facilities of a dwelling (eg., use of the housing complex's pool as a privilege of home ownership).

The Fair Housing Act covers most housing. But even then there are exceptions. In very limited circumstances, the Act exempts owner-occupied buildings with no more than four units, single-family houses sold or rented by the owner without the use of an agent, and [b]housing[/b] operated by religious organizations and private clubs that limit occupancy to members.

I suspect PP is asking about private swim clubs not associated with housing at all, like a country club or private pool with no housing related/restricted membership. Those private pools are not a service or privilege of 'housing' in any way, so are not covered by the Fair Housing Act.[/quote]

Yep.

If you are member of a country club, for instance, this is not an issue.[/quote]
