Temperature of pool water
 

We are new to TV [ 6 months ] and enjoy the fact that pool water is heated in winter months for our enjoyment, however during this time of year the water is so warm and no longer refreshing that we don't even go to pool unless there was a very rain the night before to cool water temps. I an sure this subject has been hashed and re-hashed, but there must be a way to solve this problem. We all pay for use of pools / facilities so why not make them enjoyable ?

We are having unusually hot weather.
100 degree temperatures are not typical here in June.

What would you have The Villages do? Chill outdoor pools?

When the rain starts, they will cool down. We are just in a dry hot spell right now

Bgalster, I have felt the same way. When I first came to The Villages and got into one of the pools, I was surprised at how warm it was. I am the same as you . I want to feel refreshed and I feel like I'm getting into a bathtub. I have been in a lot of different pools during warm weather, but none of them have ever felt as hot as the pools here in The Villages. I always wondered if they are heated even in the summer? Or are they unheated and they're just this hot due to the sun and temperature? Even in Las Vegas and in the tropics, the pools always felt refreshing and not like a sauna. Glad to know I'm not alone.

Did you ever consider that what is enjoyable to you might not be enjoyable to everyone? Plus, you might be able to put your own pool in then you could have control of what works for you.

--------------?

How exactly, do you propose to cool the pool water? Ice cubes?

Are you sure there is a problem? Others may not agree with the temperature you find enjoyable.

OMG! The OP sounds like my old pastor who responded to a parishoner who was asking to air condition the Church - Dear, if we give them air conditioning in the summer, the next thing they will want is heat in the winter! Will they never be satisfied?

The Church never did add air conditioning!

I'd say if it is too warm, put all your ice cubes from your freezer in a bucket and bring them with you. If everybody does this, maybe it would help cool it off for you a bit... gosh!

My flabber is gasted.

Need to make them a little dryer also. I believe they are a little too wet.

I noticed that! And the water sticks to you when you get out.

My mouth dropped open. My blood pressure went slightly up and then you wonderful, witty, warm and amazing people began to type.


I just had several coffee spits and much laughter.


What a wonderful bunch of folks.

Personally, I like very hot baths, hot tubs around 104, pools at 84-86. Hotter than very hot and 86 is just not comfortable (I can take the hot tub hotter but know it's not good for me). Cooler is tolerable, but not enjoyable, so, I sympathize with you.

I've been told the pools are heated year round. If this is true, then adding unusually hot weather with no rain has to make the pools miserable for many of us. Try hitting the pool first thing in the morning, they're a little cooler then.
