Not even in the middle of the night, while you’re asleep?

SEALs rec swimming is based on the type of obstacles Buds recruits are familiar with, except this is a residential maneuver. Mission objectives include, but are not limited to slipping in under the cover of darkness, skinny dipping for as long as you can, without being detected, make a hasty retreat before reveille, then arrive for morning chow unscathed.

This is your mission, should you choose to accept it.*

Y’all are the people talked about in the earlier thread about being too scared to have some fun.

Quit worrying about stupid shite and go live a little. Life’s too short for all y’all negapoolers.

Have a bunch of strangers in my pool,no way.
Sounds like some people put in pools they couldn’t afford.

Seems like there would be a hell of a lot of liability involved in something like that…


Best check the exclusions under your homeowners policy.

Because if Lord forbid some a-hole drowns in the pool ,your homeowners isnt going to cover that.. and then you'll get sued and probably lose your house.. frick all that noise..

Inviting total strangers, even for a fee, to come use my pool and incur the risk of one of them suing me if/when they inevitably get hurt doing something stupid while drunk (I doubt many are renting pools to have a "sober" party) doesn't sound like fun. Instead, I'll just continue to invite the people I want to come to my pool. People who are less likely to sue me if they get hurt doing something dumb.

When adding a pool costs almost as much as a home a market will certainly be created

Seems marketable but not worth all of the extra chemicals you'll need to buy to counteract all the rando pee you'll inevitably have.

The majority probably financed the pool like everything else they are over extended on a trying to make some quick cash. I would not let ransoms in my backyard

There is zero chance I’m renting out my pool.

Those we don’t speak of will be trying to rent it and i don’t want my stuff messed up

Not to mention the liability


Yeah, if someone gets hurt, your homeowners insurance isn’t going to cover it.

From Reddit;A poster buried in the comments mentions that the liability insurance they include is void if alcohol is being consumed. That's a huge loophole for you to get screwed. Anyone ever go to an AirBnB with a group of people without a cooler full of alcohol?

Also people are dirty and will do nasty stuff like let their dogs swim. There's no way the headache is worth it.

I'm not sure what your homeowner's insurance would say about this. Essentially you would be turning your home into some type of commercial enterprise. I wouldn't be surprisied if this violates some clause somewhere.

If someone was hurt or drowned I wonder if the HO insurance policy would cover it.
