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.

[The photo below shows the pools mentioned above, or at least several of them.]

Not any more my friend. Anything but the land of the free. Free stuff, but not free people.

Thanks for the pix...so interesting. We have a 12 x 24 ft pool with sun deck...just perfect for our own water aerobics and lounging on a float. I can do laps at a sports pool if I feel the need.

My google maps for the areas mentioned just show sand with truck-traveled roads. Does anyone know how I can get maps to show more recent satellite views? I am pretty sure I am on the latest Google Maps version.

75 feet, or 25 yards would be a regulation length lap pool just like all the sports pools except for the shorter pool at the Savannah Center. I am way jealous of whoever has that as their personal lap pool. That is on the very top of the list of what I would buy myself if I ever hit the big powerball jackpot.

My neighbor and I went down to the houses on Conservation Trail when they were being built. We sat at one of the bars in the pool and drank a cold Michelob just to see how the rich people live. LOL

With all do respect I have to disagree with you that we are not free, “this is the land of the free and home of the brave”. As we celebrate Memorial Day, we honor all those that who have gone on before us who made it possible for those of us living today to enjoy the freedoms of the greatest country on the planet. God Bless America...
