Is that a capacity issue at the pools down there or was a special event going on? Had to be a family pool, kids were in the line. Seems strange since up Sumter/Brownwood way many of the pools were practically empty. Just curious, didn't see much down there that would make me want to move south.
Everglades and Spanish Moss pools are sports pools and will have lines to get checked in to water aerobics and volleyball. Fenney pool is a family pool. I saw a line once there only because it was closed for maintenance or something and was just reopening, so people were lined up as they were waiting for it to open. Otherwise, never any lines.

To the person who thinks all regional rec centers only have sports pools, Fenney is a regional rec center and it's a family pool.

Also...yeah, we definitely all hate it down here, you won't like it, the constant traffic noise, the 24 times a day massive booms, prison escapes, nothing to do for miles and miles, and I am not sure what all the loofahs on the golf cars are about....save yourself, stay up north...
