Swim wear dress code for community pool?

This is what I don't get? Why not just have all of the footage live streamed? As long as they notify everyone that is what is going on what is the problem?

Cost? You'd need some kind of encoder, an internet signal (with enough bandwidth), and a host.

Really men aren't allowed topless?

We acknowledge in our community that moobs are not the same as boobs BUT we do also have some men that will declare they are past the moob stage and will wear a bikini top

Not a manzier?

And, let's not forget that if you are somewhere in public, with no expectation of privacy (and a community pool, even if "private" would be included), then you take the chance someone might video you or take pictures of you.

It’s not exactly a community pool. It’s a private pool owned by the people who are using it. But any private facility where children play us likely to have a no cellphone recording policy.

I haven’t described a situation where members of the pool are showing anyone cellphone video. I’m talking about being able to positively identify a rule breaker to management without having access to video that might compromise the privacy of other members. That’s done with a low res or distorted ‘index’ video like:


Once “that guy” is identified to management, management can privately pull up the same timestamp from the same (and other) angle cameras and use the better footage to identify the scofflaw.

And yes, it is an added complication. I’ve sat through the discussion on security cameras in two semi related cases. One was in the classrooms and hallways of a private school and the other was cameras going up around outside the bathrooms, showers, and pool of the Marina where I keep my boat. In both cases the question of who has access to the footage was top bill.

If you make access restricted only to staff, it’s seen as a tool used against them as the members don’t get the advantage of supporting their own complaints with video. But if you make it easily accessible you are putting potentially embarrassing moments into enough hands that plenty of people would rather just nix the whole thing.

The system adopted by the school actually made a series of high red still image index sheets available of a selected timeframe for this purpose. At the Marina we paid for a “review mode” extension for the cctv system that used AI to identify and blur faces and it was supposed to identify children and blur them completely but it never worked right.

The alternative to this complication isn’t always going to be a simpler solution if the stakeholders don’t feel secure with it. The complications were compromised used to convince the members to allow anything at all.
