Is there a way a non-resident guest can use a sport pool for a long weekend? Or perhaps there is another pool outside the Villages that has an alternative?
Thanks in advance.

There are no regulation 25 yard lap pools in the villages that guests can use. Unfortunately, the sports pools are usually very overcrowded, and as such they are limited to resident use only. Even residents often can not get a swim lane during the busy winter season when the days are short and most of the pool time is reserved for activities other than lap swimming. Lap swimming is usually available only very early in the AM and then again as it gets dark. It would be nice if lap swimming was available during the middle of the day, but it is never on the schedule except on Sundays. And if you swim backstroke, good luck finding a pool with swim flags so you can know when the wall is coming and avoid hitting your head on the wall.
