I know some of the avid swimmers must journey to Gainesville and Clermont to get their laps in, because the Villages facilities are sub-par. Pool chillers should be installed in the sport pools where there is high demand for lap swimming and water aerobics, not the neighborhood pools. There are 12 sport pools, and at a cost of say $6K per pool you are talking $72K. It would certainly make more sense than spending $500K on a fake water tower/windmill.
Are there retirement communities in Gainesville and Clermont?
