Pools and their bathrooms, showers and locker rooms are for residents and their registered guests, except sports pools which are for residents only. You are supposed to show an ID but the Villages is very lax about checking. I swim laps seven days a week as long as weather permits. In five years I have encountered young gals jumping in the pool in cut offs, guys drinking bottled beer and smoking, children in the sports pools, a young woman showering while her boyfriend watched as lookout, and various others who are obviously not residents. My 75 year old husband was denied access to a pool bathroom while out for a walk near Everglades because he did not have his ID.
