I am not much of a swimmer, but unless you are at the sports pools I don't think you are able to swim much distance in the Village pools. Always some people in the way or annoyed at swimmers since they just want to sit around and relax. But then again, I have taken the cart for a 20 minute ride to pools that are rarely used and they are empty.
I do agree on the socializing aspect. We are building our pool now and asked each other if we would go to the public pools again. We agree that we may go if we feel like socializing or meeting new people.
I don't know how suntanning would be different except maybe the screen. But I see that as a positive. Anything cutting out the sunburn is not a bad thing. No shortage of sun.
