Within 15 minutes, a group of women filled the pool with equipment for an exercise class and we couldn't swim anymore, and had to leave. We were told these classes are held three days a week, and it occurs at the time of the morning we both have free time to swim. So, did I receive WRONG information about the pools, or are people just refusing to follow the rules so others can't live THEIR dream?

The Villages is populated from all over the USA, Canada, and the UK, so people bring many regional habits and behaviors with them. Everything from “Minnesota Nice” to “Long-guyland Assertive”. Most folks follow the rules, but some follow from a greater distance than others, and sometimes rules are interpreted differently. At our adult pool residents of one particular street think they have a monopoly on the pool for a few hours on Mondays. Your pool’s exercise group seems a bit possessive with their three day a week activity. Mostly it is a matter of give and take. If you are a serious lap swimmer, you might consider using a sport pool during lap swimming times. Otherwise, get there before the exercisers, and claim your space.
