Totally disagree. We use ours every day unless there are thunderstorms.
Bought our (3rd) house here intentionally for the pool after giving up a few years ago on swimming in TV pools, so many pools yet nowhere to swim a few laps. Sports pools are classes and volleyball all day, too hard to find a few lap lanes. Even if you do, waiting in the heat for your turn only to find someone else jump in ahead and take your lane is NOT my idea of fun. If you try to swim a lap or two at neighborhood pools, you get dirty looks. All those pools in TV and none are SWIMMING pools.
As with other 'amenities' too many people competing for a spot makes it impossible to enjoy them. 'The Lifestyle' is great in theory, but the reality is a joke. Now with the pandemic and having to stay home, I'm especially glad to have my own pool. Just saying.
