Russ, I lived here for over 3 years and use my float (like in the picture on The Villages official website) ) and never have had any of the pool monitors challenge me.. in fact several have said "wow, that looks relaxing".... why???? There are NO rules against it in the neighborhood pools! And when my 30 year old kids visit, they come to the pools with me with their guest passes.

My pool float has never bit anyone, messed up their yards or even bumped into anyone. I even move over for those doing laps!! It is what I enjoy and pay my amenity fees to use! If pools are very busy I go down the road to one that isn't! It's that simple! Please respect all of our rights!

Sea,

Not trying to be a pool bully - but the rules (that aren't in the phone book) - don't specify only family pools. Looking in the phone book (as you said on page 16) it does list those restrictions under family pools. However, it says NOTHING about neighborhood pools and lists other sport pool restrictions.

I did follow the link this time (thanks, Steve) and it sure does show someone on a float!

I don't know if the signs at the pools say anything about floats. I'll check next time.

And again, no one is disputing your amenity fee - put paying one doesn't let us walk on to the golf courses (without following the rules) or playing pickleball (without following the rules). If the neighborhood says floats are OK - then I don't dispute your right to use one - if it doesn't; then I do.
