I would like to get back to the pool quickly but will proceed with caution. To answer your question directly. As far as I know there is no plan to Re-Open as of this moment.

Default Who would feel safe to get in a public pool right now?

I would not swim with someone unless I gave birth to them or sleep with them.

ESPECIALLY since there is still the same amount of danger in catching Covid-19 as there was before they were shut.........and we in The Villages with our age group are most at risk.

I received an update from the District Manager two days ago on this topic. Plans are being worked up by the district office to reopen the amenities, the scheduling of the reopening will be determined by the guidance provided by the CDC, state, and county health official guidance. As soon as a schedule is know, it will be made public. No schedule has been announced yet.

The pools were closed because people at the pools were ignoring social distance guidelines.

What has changed?

Do we think all will now follow, in essence, the same guidelines?

There are people that use the pool for exercising. I have a lower back issue that only can be helped with swimming/walking in the pool. The snow-birds are gone and that would eliminate the crowding and people wanting to sit in the sun can alternate lounge chairs. I am not including pool sports (volley ball, etc), just those who would use the pool for lap swimming and exercise ??

The snow-birds are not all gone. Alternate lounge chairs..... who will disinfect them between uses? And your last part ...... the lap swimming and exercise you want to do is supposed to be done at Sports Pools (no lounge chairs) and if you open them how are you going to tell others they can't do the things they want in them? Remember the pickleballers are not real happy about golf still being played. Do you think it would be different with Volleyball players? I don't.
I would think if we open things too fast..... your bad back could be the least of your health problems.
