And THAT is part of the confusion I'm sure. There are exceptions to most of what seems to be a "pattern" concerning amenities in our community. NEW concepts are tried from time to time, some are picked up for repetition, some are one of a kind. I am sure it is very confusing for new residents ! It's the same with golf, and other amenities. Country clubs aside, the differences in "required" dress at various nine hole courses is really confusing, same with the wide differences in "allowed" on course conduct. Reading the pool rules someone posted from the .gov website, if you look at EVERY WORD carefully, it does NOT convey absolute adherence. Just like all the other language associated with amenities, is it couched with a language the conveys a kind of civil decency, cooperation, respect, politeness, and a common understanding that taking up an entire neighborhood adult pool for a sport or organized class is NOT what was intended.... but....again, if you read carefully on many of these types of things, the language used by the villages in their printed materials is actually more like "civil behavior suggestions", than anything narrowly, and legally, defined. This is how it reads to me: PLEASE ACT LIKE RESPONSIBLE AND POLITE ADULTS WHEN USING OUR COMMON AREAS ! Just my interpretation !
