The pool is a great place to meet people! However, it's not a "pickup" location for the most part. My wife and I have met more people in the pool than anywhere else. People are always willing to chat about where they're from, whether they're fulltime or snowbirds, beaches they like, food options, etc. We've found the pool people to be very enjoyable for socialization. I do agree that I would find it creepy to be approached while lounging tanning, asleep or resting, but I've never seen anyone do that. It's not a hard skill to figure people making eye contact probably will engage in conversation. However, clubs, hobbies, classes, etc. can be more productive, IMO, because you are starting out with a base of people with like interests.
