When I was fixing a bird cage, the screen guy told me the pool underneath is the biggest in the villages. It is 68 ft long lap pool. I am not sure what he said was true. Do you know of any of the house pool that is longer?

Might be the longest pool if it's just a rectangle lap pool but I think other pools that are say, 35x12, would be bigger in terms of volume.

And there's a house in Pine Ridge that has a lazy river.

Anyone have a picture of that? Would love to see it.

You can see the pools on Google maps. Look at the houses on Conservation Trail. There are three in a row that look like they have an island in the middle.

You earned it. You can spend it any way you like. Did you ever see a Uhaul following a hearse?

If I wanted to swim laps, I’d swim in a recreation center lap pool. I use my pool a lot, but only to sit in the 92° water with friends and enjoy life. If it were 10 feet square, it would still be big enough for my needs. I never swim in it. I also enjoy watching the pool guy clean it while I sit in my air conditioned living room writing checks for its upkeep. It’s a small pool, but all told, it costs me, with occasional repairs, maybe $250 a month. The jealous people making catty comments about a 68 foot pool should consider the cost. Some people have bigger houses or more toys or bigger incomes, and also bigger expenses, but everyone living in The Villages has won the retirement lottery. It’s like going to heaven: maybe all you get is a tiny basement level efficiency apartment with a dumpster view, but you are still in heaven walking on the streets of gold. We are all winners here.

There is a home on Marshview that has a loooooong lap pool running perpendicular to the lay of the home; we were amazed the day we saw it!

[Goldwingnut]

This is likely the one in question. It's 75 ft according to the permitted plans and as measured using the tools in google maps.

You are very kind and I agree totally. We did hit the lottery to surround ourselves with with wonderful people in The Villages.
