According to Villages rule, dusk is 18 minutes after sunset….one thing to keep in mind is that many Recreation areas have more than one pool to close. In addition, there are Pickleball, sometimes tennis courts as well as the occasional dog park that need to be closed at dusk. Given the tasks as well as the fact that many times there’s only one Rec Assistant working, one can give these folks a break for managing the tasks quite well. Most of the folks working these jobs are long retired and do it for various reasons. Yes, our amenity fees help pay their salary….but it also pays for a lot more. If some aren’t happy with the way things are run, maybe they could take a job and do it better!

i'd just watch the instructional video

According to the Villages "pool guidelines" published on the districtgov.org website, dusk is defined as follows.

"Pools and outdoor facilities close at dusk (30 minutes after sunset)."

Not correct. According to the Villages "pool guidelines" published on the districtgov.org website, dusk is defined as follows.

Dusk is defined as 30 minutes after sundown. The pool hours at all but Paradise are 7:30AM until Dusk.

We love to go to the pool late
there’s no one there it’s beautiful and we have met some very very kind people who were closing up the pool
we passed them going out many times they always just say you’re leaving just in time
At nearly 9PM😎

I disagree. It is a response I use when an employee has exceeded their responsibility or have become rude or combative. It simply states you know there is a higher authority and you would like to speak to them. It can be done politely and respectfully. I also do it often when service has exceeded expectations.

The pools are opened at dawn and closed at dusk check the weather channel for sunset , sunrise
Sometimes CW gets tied up in other situations that delay the opening or closings

[Dantes]

They don’t go home early because they closed a pool early. ?;:/-;

Just like when we were kids! You had to go home when the street lights came on!

Now that is an interesting "take" on this thread!
