Check out page 4. This is for family pools.

Adult pool

Think back when you were three months old. If you were taken to a pool and not been able to enter the water, how would you have felt. The question is kind of like dangling a piece of candy in the face of the child but saying you can't have it.

What about the child that gets fussy and begins crying at the adult pool. It's bad enough some adults act like this but to add a child.... NOOOOO !!

Adult pools are for adults !!!

3 months not 3 years

[Two Bills]

Adult pools.
"Pools for residents and guests who are 30 years of age and over."

[bilcon]

NO NO NO unless your baby is over 30 yrs. That is why we have family pools. Why does everyone look for a way around the rules?
Think about it. Would you want your 3 month old in a pool with some 70-80 year olds who have been in the pool for 4 hours without taking a break? I don't know , but my bladder is not that strong. Only saying..... I love having my own pool.

A three month old baby would be in some type of bassinet out of the sun with someone watching over the baby.
It wouldn't bother me, but as you can see others here feel differently.

It's not how others "feel", it's the rules

No, not allowed. The family pool is the place to go. Adults at the adult pool would also not appreciate a 3 month old that might start crying or become fussy.

Babies cry. I do not want to hear a crying baby at a pool for adults only. That is why there are family pools.....for crying babies and screaming kids.

[vintageogauge]

Why would you want to take a 3 month old to any pool if you're not going to dangle her in the water? I think she would enjoy a stroller ride around the block a lot more than lying in something near a pool,

What is it that one can not understand about the difference between adult and family pools. The rules are spelled out very clear, adult pools are for people 30 and over and family pools are for all ages. Kind of a no brainer in my opinion. We can't bring our 27 year old daughter to one of the adult pools for another 3 years, and she is way more mature than many of the so called adults we come across.

[katie2815]

Wondering why you want to bring a baby to an adult pool when there are plenty of family pools?

[dewilson58]

By the rules, no you can't.


Most pools and most Villagers would not care.


But as you can see................the minority might care and call the Pool Police.


Hate to have you and a three month old in The Villages violation jail.

Can a 3 month old baby be allowed at the adult pool? She will not be in the water.

Only if she is an exceptionally mature 3 month old, like in 29 years and 9 months from now:1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

Sounds like someone who doesn't want to listen to the noise of other's children.

[bmit16]

That about raps up this discussion!

[blueash]

You know instead of jumping all over the OP it might make sense to understand their question. While I agree with those who have answered "no" and explained the under 30 vs 30+ separation, the OP is asking whether the age restriction is for those actually in the water. Pool could be understood to mean in the pool. Using the pool means swimming, floating... And looking at the language the age prohibition seems to say pool not pool deck or pool area. I believe it is meant to be inclusive of everything inside the gate but it is not clearly stated. Thus the OP asking, is it ok to be at an adult pool as long as the child is not in the water is a reasonable question. And I appreciate them asking and do not see it as trying to weasel around some regulation but rather as asking for clarification of a regulation that could be interpreted either way.

[Northerner52]

There should be a lot more adult pools and less family ones.

[Tom53]

OP, I suggest you contact or stop by a regional rec center and ask the question. The rules are clear that you have to be 30+ to go IN the pool, and they are also clear that you cannot have pets in the pool AREA, with no such stipulation on the under 30's. But every village has both types of pools, so there is a place for everyone. And while the printed rules do not cover every possible scenario, the intent seems to be (at least to me) 1 pool for families to get together, and 1 pool for adults to kick back and relax.

Posing that question here leads to opposing opinions and accusations of "rules only apply to others, cranky people, child haters, etc.".

I'm sure there are residents that have not seen their grandchildren or children in a long time for a variety of reasons (some tragic), and use the adult pool to avoid the reminder.

[coffeebean]

........ I believe it is meant to be inclusive of everything inside the gate but it is not clearly stated.

This is seriously splitting hairs. I can not imagine anyone asking if it is OK for someone under the age of 30 to sit in a pool chair and not go in the water.

Question with a simple a answer.

If you live in Marsh Bend that is not an issue as there is NO adult pool. TV did not build one for the village; only a sports (with no where to sit and enjoy your neighbors) and a family pool.

[MaryRDH]

Definition of “adult” per Siri:
“Fully grown or developed “.
How can this be misunderstood!?

[charmed59]

I’d wander down to the adult pool you were thinking of and see if there are other people there at all. I know the closest adult pool to me is often empty, with no other people to bother.

Though adult pools are often at neighborhood mail stations all neighborhoods do not have a pool.

[GGTaurus]

No one wants to listen to a child crying! That being said, TV do not care. Go for it. What is the worst they can do? Ask you to leave...

[greenflash245]

no. if you need to be at the pool, hire a sitter

[Veiragirl]

we moved to the Villages for many reasons. A big one is NOT to have to be around babies. Don't bring it here.

[Velvet]

Please don’t bring a baby into an adult pool area. Save yourself the embarrassment.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but these two posts seem to suggest that it is OK to :
a) check out the pool to see if you can break the rules if no one is there (unless they arrive after you), and
b) just ignore the rules and bear the consequences since there probably aren't any.

Way to go!, great lesson to teach the next generation starting at a young age:1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

[Veiragirl]

NO NO NO . Don't want to hear it or deal with mothers. Go to Chucky Cheese

Nice attitude. :ohdear::ohdear:

Wow....

[Velvet]

Why? People go to the sanctuary of the adult pool for quiet, tranquility and adult company. They, for example, do not try to attend a kindergarten class.
