If you are wondering if a vinyl pool will last as long as a gunite or concrete pool, here is a recent photo of a vinyl pool that I had built in Pensacola in 1978. The home just sold on Zillow and I had looked up the address and found the photos. This pool was only $5,000 in 1978, that makes it 40 years old.

Ask Fiesta Pools for a quote, their prices are very reasonable.
At the very least, they would tell you what could be done within your budget

This year February was warm and we were able to use the pool. We put the solar cover on end of November. Dec is fine and part of January. If we have a cold Jan and cold Feb. We wait until March to use the pool.

I have a question. We are considering moving to TV. I love to swim but do not golf. I thought that all Villagers could go to all country clubs and use facilities such as pools. What is pool priority at the country clubs and is there a cost? If you don't have it does that mean you can't swim in country club pools?

You can eat at the restaurants but not use the golf course pools unless you pay for a priority pool membership. The only other facilities are golf practice areas

They most likely have replaced the liner since it was first built. We had a vinyl pool and the liner does need to be replaced depending on your chemical usage every 6 to 12 years.

Thank you for the prompt response. Approximately how much is a priority pool membership?

There are over 100 pools that are included with your monthly maintenance fee of $155, including Sports pools at all Regional Rec Centers, perfect for active swimmers, we also have resident pools and family pools. Country Club pools do have a fee. Something for everyone.

You’ll go to the pool nearest your home, most do.
