Multiply that by the hundreds (?) of facilities around the Villages and you're talking about real money.
PLUS, the passes I get for my guests do not have chips in them so how would they work with the turnstiles? Put a barcode on the passes and a reader at the turnstiles? Pay for chipped guest cards and the infrastructure to constantly modify the database? Change the rules to say that I must now accompany my guests when they go to the pool?

I suggest manning the family pools or any other system at these and see if that helps.
Most neighborhood pools have the same people there most days. I have seen them call when people who they don’t know, are at the pool. Within minutes, someone shows up to check. The “ smart ones jump in the water . They do not get checked. They should all have to get out of water. In inconvenient for residents but you can’t have it both ways.
This type of problem is also evident in the squares. As more apartments are built , more and more use by non residents. I know the entertainment is not an amenity, however it is one of the first item realtors show you when touring.
Changes are here and more coming. You have to adjust your protocols to the times.
They adjusted during Covid.
Again, just don’t do it at every place. Pilot programs, different ways at different venues and facilities. Find out what works.
