Rec centers?

[Heartnsoul]

Someone told me rec center's closed again today? Does anyone know if this is true? Gyms still open??

[Stevenl]

I visited the exercise room at Fenney Rec center today. It was open as usual.

[Stu from NYC]

Fake news?

[collector0915]

Went to Saddlebrook today for softball application. Open usual hours.

[Topspinmo]

This week most stay open till 9PM now instead of 8PM closure time. I wear mask inside and if someone in there coughing I leave in the furthest possible route.

[Heartnsoul]

Ok. Tks everyone

I think Rohan was closed for awhile from couple employees tested positive. Probably where it started and somebody interpreting that as all of them?

[WhoDat]

Don't know why they are open. There doesn't seem to be much you can do there. No cards or Mai Jong. I guess you can play pool or go in the pool. Makes me wonder where our amenity fee is going. Maybe they are planning a refund of the part that pays for the entertainment on the squares.

The business on the squares pay for the entertainment.

Some go there to sit on porch and read, use the wifi, catch up with socially distanced friends and some, just to get out of the house. Pickleball, walkers, exercise path etc have a bathroom :)

Refund?

[Rzepecki]

If you want to know what’s open or not, etc., in The Villages, sign up for notifications at Districtgov.org. You’ll get accurate and up to date emails/information directly from the administration.

The music on the squares is paid by the merchants and tourism tax from Sumter County. Amenity money dos not pay for the entertainment on the squares.

Yes if 60% of the people wore masks 60% of the time, the CV would drop way low like in Europe and Japan.

No meetings or organized classes or exercise classes just the gyms at regional centers. Oops are open.

[Rosebud1949]

When Rec centers post a sign "no masks no entry" I will return until then forget it... and they will continue to open and close as the virus spreads again.....

They have no power to say that. Who would remove the people who didn't wear masks. It isn't a law.

Don't get me wrong. I firmly support wearing masks in public until Covid-19 is stopped.

I believe Recreation did go from required to requested face mast policy at all Rec Centers several weeks ago.

To enter a sports pool, one MUST wear a mask outside of the entrance to the pool to speak to the employees. They take your name and ask if you are swimming or walking. Once inside the pool area, you are still required to wear a mask until you go into the pool .

Personally, I'm a big proponent of mask wearing indoors when social distancing is not always possible. I find having to wear a mask outside not necessary as everyone can very easily distance themselves more than 6 feet. Having said that, I do comply when entering the pool area. When I leave the pool area, I don't wear a mask and just wave good bye to the employees and give them my name so they know which lane is available. I'm easily 10 feet away from them when I'm leaving.

I don’t know what sports pool you go to, but this is NOT happening at Laurel, Colony and Miona. At Colony there were 9 in line. 2 wore masks. At Laurel Manor, I was the only one with a mask. The others told me I shouldn’t wear one since we’re all “athletic.”

I go to Colony sports pool. Good to know they are not requiring to wear masks when speaking to the employees OUTSIDE. I happened to be entering Colony sports pool after a couple of days when they first opened the sports pools. The manager was there and she INSISTED I wear a mask when speaking to the employees and entering the pool area. I have been complying ever since. I also notice that the employees do not have their masks on until someone approaches them, then they put their masks on.

Makes more sense to me to not have to wear a mask outside when social distancing is very easy to maintain.

I think it’s perfectly fine for employees to remove masks until approached. It’s hot out there!
Also, social distancing is not so easy to maintain, particularly for water aerobics people and sometimes walkers.
I think folks need to be sensitive to TV workers and not just think about themselves.

[dadspet]

Does it really matter? The rooms site empty and you can't use them even for small groups. We would like to use them for dance practice (2 of us) but were told NO. They sit there empty with tables and chairs no one can use.

Seems rather obvious why it matters.
the 2 of you are seen using the room, then Suzie and Joe want to practice,, Then others want in too. So who then decides which people get to use the room. What a can of worms and ****ed off people your use of the room would start. Guess that is why it matters, huh?

Dance practice sounds like a good activity during this pandemic. Given the closures of many places I suggest connecting a Bluetooth speaker to your cell phone and play your dance music. You could go to one of the 3 squares and play your music then dance to your heart's content for as long as you'd like. Think about all the fresh air your take in also the vitamin D.

Don’t get me wrong. I have no problem with the employees putting their masks back on when approached by someone who wishes to enter the pool area. What I meant to say was I don’t think it is necessary for the employees to wear masks at all when outside. It is very easy to distance from them when entering the pool area. I’m not a proponent of mask wearing outdoors when distancing is easy to maintain.

[Villageswimmer]

Mask signs at Colony pool changed from “requested” to “required.” Two out of 11 of us in line wore masks. C’mon, folks, they closed pools last time when people wouldn’t follow the rules!

Employees shouldn’t have to be mask cops. Show some respect. Please.

Did the employees insist that those without masks put them on?

Everglades is open, as the sales center is located there
It seems the salesman don’t wear masks. They bring unmasked clients into the rooms where masked villagers are participating in activities

Other than making your post here on TV did you mention anything to the people at the sales office or the rec center?
