I love swimming in January, the colder the better. Once the temperature gets below 45 degrees the pools are practically empty. I’m not sure why, the water is heated? Plus, most of the group activities get canceled, opening up bonus swim times. My core circle of sports pools radiates around Laurel Manor and includes La Hacienda, Mulberry, Lake Miona, Colony Cottage, and Sea Breeze. It all depends on the daily schedule and what pools are currently closed for maintenance. And if I play golf at Belle Glade I will swim afterwards at Rohan, or Eisenhower after playing Evans Praire, since I am already in the area.

Are you not getting *any* couch time?? :-)
