Florida condo banking on clothing-optional pool to increase sales

A Florida housing complex has hit on a new idea for selling units in a slumping market — a clothing-optional pool.
A spokeswoman for the Tampa-area project says one pool at the Arbors at Branch Creek is being set aside for nude swimmers, sunbathers and hot-tub users.
Sales director Christine Pirkle says they came up with the strategy for the 390-unit complex to set it apart from other condos.
The rules still must be approved by condo owners, but most of the complex is being rented out.
They also have to put in landscaping to keep out prying eyes.
