Quick question about swimming pools
 

I know there are sports pools, family pools, and neighborhood pools all over the Villages, but I’m interested in locating any that are deep enough for diving. Or at least 8-10 feet deep for surface diving. Where can I find that information?

The pools that have diving boards?

The sports pools, neighborhood pools and family pools all have signs with large letters, stating "no diving" and I believe all three categories only have 5 feet of water at the deep end. You most likely can find a country club to join that would allow diving, and they might even have a diving board.

Mulberry Grove and Laurel Manor might have a deep pool…..not 100% certain

The priority pools do not have diving boards. We had priority pool membership and never saw a deep pool.

I think the insurance companies have pretty much done away with diving boards in recreational pools.

Don’t think any of the pools are that deep. None have diving boards.

There are only two pools that have starting blocks - Laurel Manor and Mulberry. Mulberry is where the Villages Aquatic swim team practices, and Laurel is where they hold the Senior games swimming events. All the other sport pools are too shallow for diving.

Expect to half to get into a college or school pool. They open for the community at regular times too.

Laurel Manor and Mulberry both have the platform dive boards. The Villages High School uses Laurel Manor I believe for swimming. I personally have never seen anyone dive into either of them, but they are both deep water pools.

Paradise pool has a deep end. It's an older pool. Probably had a diving board back in the day.

But the sign says no diving.

good luck on that one,this is Florida... the only place you'll find that is typically a YMCA or a High school/College etc. Residential areas typically don't have diving pools due to the water table in the state.
