I agree. The rec center employees are tasked with making periodic trips to the pools to check IDs, but some of them do not ask people to get out of the pool.

Also, a previous poster said that they use a digital copy of their ID on a phone. This is specifically not allowed, and The Villages employee should have refused entry unless the resident has a plastic ID card. We are paying rec center employees to do their job and to follow the rules.
