The sports pools are heated to 82-84 degrees. They are longer than the neighborhood pools, most are 25 yards, although a couple, Hacienda and Savannah I believe, are only 20 yards. If you are a lap swimmer, 25 yards is standard. Two of the pools have starting blocks, Laurel Manor and Mulberry, which are necessary for people to dive off of during swim meets. The Villages Senior games swimming events are held each year at the Laurel Manor pool. The Villages Swim team (VAST) practices on a regular basis at Mulberry pool.
