It's not totally about me, Gracie. It's about the residents of TV...and preventing skin cancers....and remaining healthy.

Certainly more people would be able to use pools in cool weather if we had indoor pools.

As I said, my beloved godmother died of metastatic melanoma - a preventable skin cancer. If having indoor pools in TV would save one resident from having skin cancer, I'd be one happy person!

Oh.........and did I mention....to put your requests for indoor pools in #20 and #136 of our Resident Survey? :)

This is the 'Sunshine State' that's why many of us live here.

The golf courses, pickle ball courts, tennis courts, cycling paths and walking paths are all unprotected from the sun as well.

Dress and protect yourself appropriately.

Look at protective clothing for swimming on this site linked below:

I whole heartedly agree with Bogie ! Indoor pools just don't make good financial sense....neither do indoor tennis courts in Florida or lots of other indoor facilities in Florida.

Once you put in ONE indoor pool for lap swimming and exercise classes, the normal pool users would want one or two for their use also. Don't they get skin cancer also?

And depending on where the indoor pool is built, the people on the other side or further away will want one in their area also.

Do you begin to see how this will grow?

I think it will become cost prohibitive in no time.

I received my letter regarding the Villages Resident Survey.

It will be ongoing for four weeks starting 3/12/12.

My one request.....for any of you who might think it is a good idea....to please suggest we have indoor pools in The Villages.

There is ever-increasing awareness of skin cancers and the necessity to avoid excesssive sun exposure. Indoor pools would surely alleviate that problem.

And, of course, indoor pools would be wonderful when the air is too cold to swim in outdoor pools (which I personally experienced on many occasions).

Please fill out your surveys and please think about adding something about how nice it would be to have indoor pools in TV. please

There is a whole new area being built....south of 466A. Now is the time for the Developer to become aware that we would like indoor pools in TV.

The Sharon Morse Building is owned by "The Villages Regional Medical".
(This information is from the Sumter County Property Appraiser's website.)

Moffitt Cancer Center has a big operation in Tampa and I seriously doubt that TV any financial interest in what goes on there. TV is affiliated with Moffitt, which is great for us - but just because you sell Cadillacs at your dealership doesn't mean you own General Motors.

It seems that I recall reading the various publications re Moffitt in TV, that Moffitt will be leasing the space and equipment from TV with TV handling the professional and administrative/maintenance positions.
