Default Who was that young man at the pool today???

Many of you went to the pool today. Some of you may have noticed a young person show up at the pool, wade in the water for a minute, take a picture and leave.

You may asking. Who was that person???? Why did leave so quickly? Why did he take a picture?

That was me - James.

Today on September 5, 2014 I completed the 75 Village Pool Challenge.

Starting this morning at 7:00 A.M. I visited all Neighborhood Pools (NP), Family Pools (FP) and Sports Pools (SP) in the Villages.

There are 75 pools in all.

My endeavor was completed exactly 10 hours later at 5:00 P.M.

Attached are some pictures of my endeavor.

Congrats!

So, which pool has the least chlorine? Best temp? Cleanest? Time for some details. (Yes, I'm kidding. Can't imagine you had time for any details.)

Now, the real question -- did you do this by car or cart?

Wow, good for you! Did you do it because of the posts here? Where did you start and end and how did you plan out the trip?

Recently the magazine Entertainment Weekly ran an article outlining a 24-hour binge watch to prepare for the Emmys and one of their readers was all, "I accept that challenge, good sirs!" She then tweeted her progress during the 24 hours.

By car. I live in Woodbury. Started at the top, worked down beau Vista, completed the southern hemisphere, then the center over to the old side, then north of 466 and finally a couple hard to find pools at lake sumter landing.

Yep. Every pool I could get to, I got to. I just stepped in it for a moment then I was gone.

If you ever want to do something like this again, get in touch with me and I will join you. Maybe we can raise some money for a local charity. Nice job.
