First, it wasn't clear whether this would be an "open" session or an "organized" session or something in between. We decided that maybe just showing up and checking things out might be the best course of action. Just before hanging up the phone, I decided to make sure about whether alcohol would/could be involved. Whoa! You'd think I'd inquired about nude sunbathing - or *worse*!

Whilst I already had some "feel" for there being different types of pools (ages allowed, primarily), with concentrated research I now have a *much* better understanding. Guess there are three basic types plus the country club variety, with the water volleyball pools being part of the "sports pool" category.

Bottom line, might there be some adult type pools where one might be more likely to find a "party" type crowd on one of these sweltering summer evenings? Thanks in advance.
The sports pools are for residents 30+ years old looking to exercise and improve/maintain their fitness level. If you’re looking to “party” at a pool either build your own or dive bomb one of the family/neighborhood pools that are being invaded by short term AirBnB type renters.
