Standing in line for the Pool?
 
Drove down to Sawgrass (went to the new food court, drove around DeLuna, Fenny and as far south as possible) - was surprised to see people 20+ deep "standing in line" waiting to get into the pools (yes, more than one). Is that a capacity issue at the pools down there or was a special event going on? Had to be a family pool, kids were in the line. Seems strange since up Sumter/Brownwood way many of the pools were practically empty. Just curious, didn't see much down there that would make me want to move south.

My SO says those people were waiting for a water aerobics class.

Ever since I been in the Army, I hated standing in line even a chance to get into
other people's bathtub. :22yikes:

Are aerobics classes allowed in neighborhood pools? I thought only in sports pools.

Was it a neighborhood pool or sports pool?

My guess is sports pool.

Sports pools are the only ones that would have a wait time to get in as they count heads to be sure they are not over capacity. I've never seen a line at a neighborhood or family pool, there are lots of them down here and most are never crowded especially at this time of the year.

The pool at Ezell (Sawgrass) is a sport pool. Our neighborhood pool is never crowded and if it were there are plenty more to choose from. Come on down, the water’s fine.

Your reply has not gone unnoticed! :bigbow:

That makes sense. I've seen lines of people waiting to sign in for a water aerobics class up north at one of the regional rec centers.

Ezell is a sports pool and yes they are waiting for a class. Glad people don't want to move south.
