For people who film using a pool that isn't there own. Where did you go? Did you give the hotel manager extra money to reserve their pool? Rent a vacation home just to use the pool? Did you risk it and just use a public pool? I'm asking because I want to try to get a shoot done and I live in Maine where using a outdoor pool is only a option for so long. My available film week would be close to the end of pool season for this state. Any and all advice is welcome. Thanks in advance.
My personal choice is to rent a house with a pool. The other options you mentioned are fine if you can make it work. But for us, my preference is to have a private place with no distractions

I have been looking for air bnb's in my area to see if i can do that! bc hotels? once you pay off one person? everyone starts "having to work on that end of the hotel" by the end of it? ive literaly paid more than what i got paid for the custom and THEN SOME to shoot one video.
so? im on the lookout here! i also have the river though. and the scenery is just phenomenal. It has a waterfall (which we are desperately trying to find the way to GET TO IT, but its in the background....down stream. so gorgeous. but renting a house with a pool would be too legit to quit! i would just be swimming. A LOT! HAHA!
We are seriously looking to find a house with pool as a rental right now as we speak. just maybe we'll be willing to share it someday, wouldn't mind hosting and letting shoots happen there.
Meanwhile public, hotel and community pools I'll have to assume at not as good as an option like 2 decades ago before the epidemic rise of the all mighty Karen's which in this case would freak out over a microscopic amount of cotton clogging the filter eventually penetrating it and going on to rupture the pipes ruin the pump's impellers and bearings then burst through the concrete like some geyser to a wave terrifying everything in it's path down the street and ruining her rose bushes a whole block away. Not even the very best psychologist or even nuclear fusion engineers have any idea how to explain the fuckery mind of a Karen. Well at least we learned the bad Karen down the street was on xanax, that finally explained why she'd scream at the top of her lungs for us not having a mask on in our very own cars.
Love you, too
