I have not been to the neighborhood pools but I have been to the sports pools and I do feel safe. I swim laps. Only one person is allowed per lane. When I'm waiting for a lane, I walk on the other end of the pool. When someone approaches me face to face, I just put my face into the water for a couple of seconds so we are no longer face to face. There is a limit of how many walkers are to be in the pool at one time but the last time I was at Colony sports pool, there was no one to monitor people going in and out.

At Colony, entrance is through the locker rooms and exit is through the gate. Masks are to be worn when not in the water but many people, including me do not put their mask on when they exit the pool. It is very easy to maintain the proper distance from other people when on the pool deck. Plus, it is outside in the sun so there really is very little risk.
