Is there a salt water pool in the Villages?

I heard there was a salt water pool - is that a rumor or does anyone know which pool it might be?

Probably a false rumor, or, perhaps, a misinterpretaton.

I believe the pools (at least here south of 466) use a salt-based chlorination system rather than 'pure' chlorine. This results in less stinging of the eyes, a smoother feel on the skin, and less wear and tear on the swimsuits. Not exactly salt water but may be the genesis of what you heard.

The pool at Truman, a family pool..seems to be saline..

We were told that the priority pools were salt water pools....again...just something we were told...I don't remember who told us so I can't really trust the information....however I never smell any chlorine and our bathing suits do not discolor either....

villages07 has pretty much described what a salt water pool is. We have one and love it.

That's probably what they meant. I was hoping it was like the therapy pool at the RDV center in Orlando - it was like swimming in a spa -
