Swimming laps in any Villages pool other than one of the 11 regulation length sports pools (the Savannah pool does not qualify) with swim lanes and flags doesn’t cut it. You spend way more time turning than swimming, and without lanes and flags you can’t swim backstroke. Water walkers, on the other hand, can easily use both the adult and family pools (there are about 100 of them) and should not be taking up very limited and valuable swim lanes in the sports pools.
