Absolutely! We stopped using the Villages pools after our first summer here when we found out the pool water was as hot as a pot of water simmering on the stove. Not refreshing at all! Unfortunately, we found out after we bought and closed escrow or we would’ve bought a pool sized lot. We don’t swim in winter because it’s just not something we did in SoCal where we moved from, so it feels weird to us. Swimming was a summer activity, and we find no pleasure in it during winter. Our swim window here is short. Just May and June only before the water’s too hot. Chillers in the pools would be heavenly.
