[quote=Love2Swim;979418]I question if that is really the reason they did away with the indoor pool. Why would an indoor pool be more expensive to maintain than any other pool? Its all about maintaining the level of chemicals and keeping the pumps and filters running. If anything it would be easier. The pumps and filters are inside in a temperature controlled environment and not subject to the temperature extremes that the outdoor pools encounter.

Is it possible they had a use for the space that the indoor pool occupied that would generate more income?

Or is it possible they discovered problems with maintenance that were difficult? The developers seem to have learned as they went along and improved things. Separating and widening cart paths. Building more pools, and rec centers. And they eliminated some things that weren't working well, perhaps?
