They could take 4-5 hour shifts, and the pools could have somewhat reduced hours. Mornings are usually the coolest time of day, and mid-late afternoon hours are usually the hottest. So maybe the pools wouldn't open until 10AM, and close at 6pm. Gives everyone a chance to cool off and be in the presence of other human beings, without forcing a crowding situation. And gives jobs back to some of the low-wage workers who otherwise would currently be unemployed.

I think all that contact is asking for trouble. I don't care if Attilla the Hun is standing guard and monitoring and suggesting. I remember vividly in the fifties being warned as a child not to go swimming in public pools because of polio and they had old fashioned chlorine back than. Another thing....Orange Blossom Baby....just like everything else that is only a "little" job or a job that wasn't there before....those are the things that inch up and cause everybody MORE expense. One of the things I like about the Villages is that it is affordable for most people. Another thing I like is that the developers do EVERYTHING they can to NEVER be in a position where they direct or order people around.
