Florida Condo Pool Rules: No Swimming After Dusk

Yes, It's the Law

Florida Statute 514.0315 (and related administrative codes) prohibits swimming in condominium pools between sunset and sunrise unless the pool meets specific lighting and safety standards that most residential condos do not.

Typical Condo Rules

• Pool hours posted (often close at 10 PM or dusk, whichever earlier).
• Violations can bring fines, suspension of pool privileges, or—rarely—criminal misdemeanor charges if an incident occurs.
• Associations enforce via security cameras, patrols, resident reporting.

Why the Restriction?

• Reduced visibility → drowning risk.
• Colder night water → hypothermia risk.
• Liability protection for the association.

Always check your specific condo's posted rules; some newer pools with approved lighting may allow limited night use.
