People did this same exposition of their superior management knowledge, regarding the developers building the Sharon Morse Performing Arts Center. But they would not see that the developers were building and operating it on the developers' investment capital, and the venue's own self-sustaining revenues, and it continues to do so.
Nobody here seems to know yet whether the indoor pool will be built with its own operational revenue streams. Regulation sized competitive length pools can be rented out by teams, socials, regional championship swim meets, etc.
I think it would be beneficial to villagers if the new indoor pool were to be used by the TV high school swim team and the VAST villagers' swim team for practices, which would free up the sport pools during those times that extend for months.
There's a lot that non-swimmers don't know about such facilities, just as non-golfers don't always know a lot about running golf courses, country clubs, tennis and polo facilities, etc.
I trust the developers to know what they're doing and will ask appropriate consultants about what they don't know.

goodtimesintv: In all due respect I believe more than 40% of the people who live here play golf but I'll concede that point. However playing the executive courses is not free. either you pay an additional $141.00 per year plus whatever portion of the amenity fee is applied and unless your a glutton for punishment you need to pony up $8 per month for the tee time scheduling system.
In addition if one wants to play a championship they can buy a priority membership and get a reduced rate or pay the seasonal rate. One could equate the championship courses with indoor pools and the executive courses with rec center pools.
