You sure you didn’t mean to say “dusk”?

They close at dusk and you can Google that time daily. Sometimes a little earlier close if no one is at the pool.

It's easy. Buy one of those "dusk to dawn" light bulbs. When the light comes on, it's dusk, and when it goes off, it's dawn.

Technically dusk is when the sun is 18 degrees below the horizon and it is almost completely dark (no sunlight remains in the sky). Dusk is also referred to as “last light” and in the Villages dusk is about 25 minutes after sunset. My experience with the various sports pools is that dusk is determined by the recreation department employee working that evening, who typically seems to be in a hurry to end his/her shift. I have gotten into it a couple times with workers who insisted it was closing time before sunset. When I asked for the name and phone number of their supervisor, they suddenly realized it wasn’t yet close to dusk.

Dawn Wells is the best definition of dawn.

It's a liquid dish detergent and works very well.

If I was the employee I would have given you the supervisor's name and then told you to leave. If dusk is to be determined by the rec. department employee working that evening who are you to question him or her. These folks don't make enough money to put up complainers and there is always one in every pool.

They do not work for you. They are village employees.

Actually, they are recreation department employees. The recreation department is solely funded by amenity fees paid by Villages homeowners, so indirectly they are employees of amenity fee paying Villages residents. Like how all government workers are indirectly employees of taxpayers.

Yes, but they should be treated respectfully! We do not own the employees.
