Or can someone draw on a satellite pic where they are? And if you know where the gates are? Are the gates placed so you can cut through? Are the gates locked? Do they unlock with your magic band? What if it's outside pool hours? Can you still get in?
 
Scroll through and you can see lots of the fence ...

With 750,000 gallons of water comprising an impressive complex of pools that range from swirling to placid every member of your family can find a place to make a splash at Stormalong Bay. Guppy Bay Kiddie pool lets even the youngest of Guests in on the fun. There are also 3 Quiet Pools at the resort, open 24 hours/7 days*.

Lockers near Beaches & Cream and outdoor showers are available in the Stormalong Bay area for guests to use on check-in or check-out day

Poolside Lockers and Outside Showers

Breaking News, August 2016- According to a recreation CM, showers will be added to the large poolside bathrooms. Completion Date Unknown

.
 
The gates are manned with an actual person that scans your magic band 99% of the time during pool hours. They will give you a wrist band so you don't have to scan all day. You need a new wristband each day as the color changes. You can cut through to go to Hurricane Hannahs, but not really convenient otherwise.

There are four entrances to Storm Along Bay. None of them work with a MB. They all have a CM at the entrance. There is an entrance near Beaches and Cream at the BC, an entrance by the YC, near the Crews Cup Lounge, and entrance at Hurricane Hanna's, and an entrance near the big slide. The gates are locked when the pool is closed.

There are three quiet pools that have gates but they don't lock.
 
We were there the last week of August this past year (not busy) and they were very strict about having to have your magicbands to initially get in. They checked all of ours and then gave us a color coded paper band to put on to use for the day.
 


And you cannot just cut through if you are not a guest of the YC/BC/BCV. When the gates are locked, they are locked. If the leisure pools aren't gated yet, they will be in the near future. All pools are being gated.
